Answer:

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

Explanation:

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.

What effect do sound waves have on air particles
valkas [14]

Answer:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

1) On the way to the moon, the Apollo astro-
kramer
(1) You must find the point of equilibrium between the two forces,

<span>G * <span><span><span>MT</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>(R−x)^2 </span></span>= G * <span><span><span>ML</span><span>ms / </span></span><span>x^2
MT / (R-x)^2 = ML / x^2

So,

x = R * sqrt(ML * MT) - ML / (MT - ML)
R = is the distance between Earth and Moon.

</span></span></span>The result should be,
x = 3.83 * 10^7m
from the center of the Moon, and 

R - x = 3.46*10^8 m
from the center of the Earth.


(2) As the distance from the center of the Earth is the number we found before,
d = R - x = 3.46*10^8m
The acceleration at this point is
g = G * MT / d^2
g = 3.33*10^-3 m/s^2

A two-slit Fraunhofer interference-diffraction pattern is observed with light of wavelength 672 nm. The slits have widths of 0.0
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of diffraction , angular width of central maxima =2 λ/d

λ is wave length of light and d is slit width

In case of interference , angular width of each fringe

= λ /D

D is distance between two slits

No of interference fringe in central diffraction fringe

=2 λ/d x D/λ = 2 x D /d = 2 x .24/.03 = 16.

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J
