What is threshold frequency

Physics
2 answers:
snow_lady [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Electrons are emitted when the frequency of the incident radiation is higher than the threshold frequency for the metal.

Explanation:

spayn [35]3 years ago

Threshhold frequency is defined as the minimum light frequency necessary to start photo-electric emission from the surface. This frequency is just effecient enough to emit electrons without any additional force or energy. this minimum frequency creates the necessary result that is sought by the person. The photo electric emission for certain metals can occir with threshhold frequency. The importance of this threshhold frequency lies in the fact that this has been used to create numerous instruments like amplifiers for use of people.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A) d_o = 20.7 cm

B) h_i = 1.014 m

Explanation:

A) To solve this, we will use the lens equation formula;

1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i

Where;

f is focal Length = 20 cm = 0.2

d_o is object distance

d_i is image distance = 6m

1/0.2 = 1/d_o + 1/6

1/d_o = 1/0.2 - 1/6

1/d_o = 4.8333

d_o = 1/4.8333

d_o = 0.207 m

d_o = 20.7 cm

B) to solve this, we will use the magnification equation;

M = h_i/h_o = d_i/d_o

Where;

h_o = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

d_i = 6 m

d_o = 20.7 cm = 0.207 m

Thus;

h_i = (6/0.207) × 0.035

h_i = 1.014 m

Explain why does the bowling ball decelerate as it travels along the lane
frutty [35]

The main cause of this is Friction. The more oil that is laid down, the less friction there is between the ball and the lane surface. The less friction, the harder it is for the bowler to send the ball in a curved path imparted by the spin that the bowler puts on the ball at the instant of release.

A spherical helium filled balloon (B) with a hanging passenger cage being held by a single vertical cable (C) attached to Earth
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The tension is  T  = 4326.7 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total mass is  m  =  200 \  kg

    The  radius is r = 5 \  m

     The  density of air is  \rho_a  =  1.225 \ kg/m^3

Generally the upward  force acting on the balloon is mathematically represented as

        F_N  =   T  + mg

=>     (\rho_a  *  V  *  g ) =   T  + mg

=>   T  =  (\rho_a  * V  *  g   )  - mg

Here V is the volume  of the spherical helium filled balloon which is mathematically represented as

      V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * \pi r^3

=>   V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * 3.142 *(5)^3

=>   V  = 523.67\  m^3

So

    T  = (1.225 *  523.67*  9.8 ) -  200 *  9.8

   T  = 4326.7 \  N

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

A 2.0 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a 15 N force at a constant velocity. What is the force of friction actin
lianna [129]

Answer:

<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.

The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.

The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.

Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.

The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.
