Answer:

K(maximum) = 0.284 eV

Explanation:

Given data

work function ω = 3.60 eV = 3.60 × 1.6 ×10^{-19} = 5.76 ×10^{-19} J

wavelength λ = 320 nm  = 320 ×10^{-9} m

to find out

maximum kinetic energy

solution

we know that speed of light is =  3 ×10^{8} m/s

and planck constant h = 6.63 ×10^{-34} J.s

we will apply here Einstein's photo elecric equation that is

hc/λ  =  ω + K(maximum)

put here all these value we get

6.63 ×10^{-34} ×  3 ×10^{8}  / 320 ×10^{-9} =   5.76 ×10^{-19}  + K(maximum)

so

K(maximum) = 6.63 ×10^{-34} ×  3 ×10^{8}  / 320 ×10^{-9} - 5.76 ×10^{-19}

K(maximum) = 0.4556 ×10^{-19}  J

K(maximum) = 0.4556 ×10^{-19}  / 1.6  ×10^{-19}

K(maximum) = 0.284 eV

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}
\frac{1}{f} =  \frac{10}{33.18}
Product of extremes equals product of means:
10*f = 1*33.18
10f = 33.18
f =  \frac{33.18}{10}

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl
muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

Blababa [14]

So, option 3 or the ambulance sound waves have more waves and shorter wavelength is the correct reason for ambulance siren having higher pitch compared to fire truck siren

Explanation:

Pitch of any sound wave is determined as the clarity in frequency of notes or the number of times a cycle is repeated for a single second. So pitch is similar to frequency. And frequency is the measure of number of complete cycles in a second. So if the ambulance siren has higher pitch compared to siren of fire truck. Then this means the frequency of ambulance siren is greater than the fire truck siren. As the frequency is more, then from the given options, choice 3 is correct. The ambulance siren have more waves and shorter wavelength. As more the frequency or number of waves, lesser or shorter is the wavelength of sound wave from ambulance.
