Light from three different lasers (A, B, and C), each with a different wavelength, was shined on the same metal surface. Laser A

produced no photoelectrons. Lasers B and C both produced photoelectrons, but those produced by B had a greater velocity than those produced by C. Arrange the lasers in order of increasing wavelength.
If A didn't produce any photoelectrons, Wouldn't it just be a straight line with the highest frequency? And to have a greater velocity would that mean the wavelength increases frequency?

Explanation:

It is known that each metal has a different work function and it is just the energy required to remove the electron from the surface.

The relation between energy and work function is as follows.

             \Delta E = Q + K.E

where,   \Delta E = energy of photon

               Q = work function

             K.E = kinetic energy of electron

When the value of Q is large then the amount of energy required by the photon is also large and vice-versa.

And, when there is not sufficient energy to remove an electron from metal surface or energy is less than its work function then electron will not be removed.

On the other hand, when incoming photon will have enough energy then electron will be ejected.

In the given situation, light from laser A is not able to remove the electron from metal surface which means that energy of photon is less than work function Q.

As, both B and C are able to remove electron from the surface of metal. So, after the removal of electrons rest of the energy of photons is transferred to eject electrons and this energy is converted into kinetic energy.

As energy of B is greater than the energy of C and A has the lowest energy among all.

Therefore, order of energy from lowest to highest is as follows.

                              A < C < B

Now, the relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

                   E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,    \lambda = wavelength

So, energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Therefore, increase in energy means decrease in wavelength.

Therefore, increasing order of wavelength is as follows.

                            B < C < A

If an atom has 15 protons, 14 neutrons, and 16 electrons, what is the atom's electrical charge? A. -2 B. +1 C. +3 D. -1
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The electrical charge of an atom having 15 proton, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct option is D.

What is an atom?

An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which comprises of central nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus in definite energy shells. The atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

The electrical charge of an atom can be calculated as,

Charge of an atom = number of protons - number of electrons

Charge = 15 - 16 = -1.

The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge, the protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged in an atom.

Therefore, the charge of an atom with 15 protons, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct answer is option D.

Saltpeter is a compound made of potassium (k), nitrogen (n), and oxygen (o). every 100.00 g of saltpeter contains 38.67 g potass
xeze [42]
First, we need to compute the mass of oxygen found in 100 grams of saltpeter:
mass of oxygen = 100 - (mass of potassium + mass of nitrogen)
                          = 100 - (38.67 + 13.86)
                          = 100 - 52.53
mass of oxygen in 100 grams saltpeter = 47.47 grams

Now, we can use cross multiplication to find the mass of oxygen in 328 grams saltpeter as follows:
mass of oxygen = (328 x 47.47) / 100 = 155.7016 grams
