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.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is A)

Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Given that Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall.

Let, Initial location of parade is 0i+0j

One block of city is one units on the XY- graph

Statement 1: Parade marches the parade 4 blocks east, then 3 blocks south

New location of parade is 4i-3j

Statement 2: The parade marches 1 block west and 9 blocks north and finally stops.

Final location of parade is (4i-3j)+(-1i+9j)=3i+6j

Displacement is given by

Displacement = (Final destination)-(Initial destination)

Displacement = (3i+6j)-(0i+0j)=3i+6j

Thus,

Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{3^{2}+6^{2}}

                                              = 6.71 m

Direction of displacement =  tan^{-1}(\frac{Y}{X} )

                                           =  tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{3} )

                                           = 63.43 NE

Therefore, the correct option is A) Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.
