The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum

kinetic energy of the electrons when radiation of wavelength 198nm is used? c. It is observed that the electrons may be prohibited from reaching the anode by applying a stopping potential. What is the stopping potential in the case when radiation of wavelength 198nm is used?

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case  h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W;  we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this  acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.

water in a cup and a kettle can have the same temperature even though the quantities are different . give reasons​
jekas [21]

Answer:

The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass  and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, T_{(equilibrium)} reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

\infty M_{(environ)} \times  c_{(environ)} \times (T_2 - T_1) = m_{1} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_3 - T_2) + m_{2} \times  c_{(water)} \times (T_4 - T_2)

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment
