what did classical physics predict about electron flow as a result of light shining on a metal surface?

1 answer:

8 0

This looks like the photo electric effect ... classical physics reckoned that if you shone an intense enough light beam on a metal you could get electrons ejected from the metal (maybe in analogy to thermionic emission - heat). It sort of "forgot" about the frequency and photon/particle nature of light.
Enter the "photo electric" effect experiment, Einstein's explanation, and the Nobel committee having an excuse to award E a Nobel prize, even though said prize was probably more for relativity.

A boat of mass 250 kg is coasting, with its engine in neutral, through the water at speed 1.00 m/s when it starts to rain with i

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. We use the conservation of momentum for before the raining and after. And also we take into account that in 0.5h the accumulated water is

100kg/h*0.5h = 50kg

$p_{b}=p_{a}\\M_{b}v_{b}=(M_{b}+m_{r})v_{a}\\v_{a}=\frac{M_{b}v_{b}}{M_{b}+m_{r}}=\frac{250kg*1\frac{m}{s}}{250kg+50kg}=0.83\frac{m}{s}$

2. the momentum does not conserve because the drag force of water makes that the boat loses velocity

3. If we assume that the force of the boat before the raining is

$F=ma=m\frac{v-v_{0}}{t-t_{0}}=250kg\frac{1m}{s^{2}}=250N$

where we have assumed that the acceleration of the boat is 1m/s{2} just before the rain starts

And if we take the net force as

$F_{net}=M_{b}a_{net}=F-F_{d}=250N-bv^{2}\\F_{net}=250N-0.5N\frac{s^{2}}{m^{2}}(1\frac{m}{s})^{2}=249.5N\\a_{net}=\frac{249.5N}{M_{b}}=\frac{249.5N}{250kg}=0.99\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

where we take v=1m/s because we are taking into account tha velocity just after the rain stars.

I hope this is useful for you

How is aperture measured? What do the measurements mean?

gulaghasi [49]

Aperture is measured in F-stops, in which the f-stops is the amount of light allowed to pass through the aperture, which simply put means that the smaller the aperture, the higher the f-stops. What it does is reduce the amount of light that reaches the film, so the higher the f-stops, the less light reaches the film.

Suppose our apparatus will only allow us to distinguish the first order bright fringe from the central bright spot if they are s

ozzi

Answer:

λ = 8.716 mm

Explanation:

Given:

- d = 10 cm

- Q >= 5 degrees

Find:

- Find the shortest wavelength of light for which this apparatus is useful

Solution:

- The formula that relates the split difference and angle of separation between successive fringes is given by:

d*sin(Q) = n*λ

Where,

λ: wavelength

d: split separation

Q: angle of separation between successive fringes

m: order number.

- Since this apparatus only shows the first order light so m =1

- the shortest possible wavelength corresponds to:

d*sin(Q) = λ

λ = 0.1*sin(5)

λ = 8.716 mm
