Answer:

W = 3.73 eV

Explanation:

Given data:

wavelength of photons 240 nm

kinetic energy 1.45 eV

B y using photoelectric equation

Kinetic Energy  =  Photon Energy - work friction

K.E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} -W

\frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{240\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}} eV

                              = 5.179 eV

                              = 5.18 eVW =  \frac{hc}{\lambda} - K.E

    = (5.18 - 1.45) eV

W = 3.73 eV

where the units of x are length and the numbers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 1.00486 m

Explanation:

The complete question is:

" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)?  "

Solution:

- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:

                                  F = - dU / dx

                                  F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx  

                                  F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:

                                  0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

                                  0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4

                                  x^4 = 20.8/20.4

                                  x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25

                                  x = 1.00486 m

The is the the distance between two crests or two troughs on a transverse wave. It is also the distance between compressions or
mixer [17]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.

In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.

Other important definitions for a wave are:

- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second

- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur

- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave
