Light with a wavelength of 400 nm strikes the surface of cesium in a photocell, and the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons

ejected is 1.54 x 10‐19J. Calculate the longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal. (1 nm = 10‐9 m)

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal is 1292 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 400 nm

Energy $E=1.54\times10^{-19}\ J$

We need to calculate the longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{1.54\times10^{-19}}$

$\lambda=1292\times10^{-9}\ m$

$\lambda=1292\ nm$

Hence, The longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal is 1292 nm.

Why doesn’t the moon fall toward the earth and smash into it?

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.

A 10.0-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wi

Veronika [31]

A) 1.05 N

The power dissipated in the circuit can be written as the product between the pulling force and the speed of the wire:

$P=Fv$

where

P = 4.20 W is the power

F is the magnitude of the pulling force

v = 4.0 m/s is the speed of the wire

Solving the equation for F, we find

$F=\frac{P}{v}=\frac{4.20 W}{4.0 m/s}=1.05 N$

B) 3.03 T

The electromotive force induced in the circuit is:

$\epsilon=BvL$ (1)

where

B is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 4.0 m/s is the speed of the wire

L = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m is the length of the wire

We also know that the power dissipated is

$P=\frac{\epsilon^2}{R}$ (2)

where

$R=0.350 \Omega$ is the resistance of the wire

Subsituting (1) into (2), we get

$P=\frac{B^2 v^2 L^2}{R}$

And solving it for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

$B=\frac{\sqrt{PR}}{vL}=\frac{\sqrt{(4.20 W)(0.350 \Omega)}}{(4.0 m/s)(0.10 m)}=3.03 T$

A disk with a rotational inertia of 2.0 kg m2 and a radius of 1.6 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axis perpendicular to

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

a) 4.0 rad/s2

Explanation:

For rigid bodies, Newton's 2nd law becomes :

τ = I * α (1)

where τ is the net external torque applied, I is the rotational inertia

of the body with respect to the axis of rotation, and α is the angular

acceleration caused by the torque.

At the same time, we can apply the definition of torque to the left side of (1), as follows:

$\tau = F*r*sin \theta (2)$

where τ = external net torque applied by Fnet, r is the distance

between the axis of rotation and the line of Fnet, and θ is the

angle between both vectors.

In this particular case, as Fnet is applied tangentially to the disk, Fnet

and r are perpendicular each other.

Since left sides of (1) and (2) are equal each other, right sides are equal too, so we can solve for the angular acceleration as follows:

$\alpha = \frac{F*r}{I} = \frac{5.0N*1.6m}{2.0 kg*m2} = 4.0 rad/s2 (3)$

Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106V/m ) if

xxMikexx [17]

(a) The electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates does not exceed the breakdown strength for air ( $3 \times 10^{6} V / m$ )

(b) The plates can be close together to 1.7 mm with this applied voltage

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

Dielectric strength of air = $3 \times 10^{6} V / m$

Distance between the plates = 2.00 mm = $2.00 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m}$

Potential difference, V = $5.0 \times 10^{3} V$

We need to find

a) whether the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air or not

b) the minimum distance at which the plates can be close together with this applied voltage.

The voltage difference (V) between two points would be equal to the product of electric field (E) and distance separation (d). The equation form is and apply all given value,

$E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{5.0 \times 10^{3}}{2.00 \times 10^{-3}}=2.5 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}$

From the above, concluding that The electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates ( $2.5 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}$ ) does not exceed the breakdown strength for air ( $3 \times 10^{6} V / m$ )

b) To find how close together can the plates be with this applied voltage:

The formula would be,

$d_{\min }=\frac{V}{E_{\max }}$

Apply all known values, we get

$d_{\min }=\frac{5.0 \times 10^{3}}{3 \times 10^{6}}=1.7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m}=1.7 \mathrm{mm}$
