Answer: 2.13(10)^{-19} J

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.  

If the light is a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy.  

<u>This is what Einstein proposed:  </u>

Light behaves like a stream of particles called photons with an energy  E

E=h.f (1)

Where:

h=6.63(10)^{-34}J.s is the Planck constant  

f is the frequency

Now, the frequency has an inverse relation with the wavelength \lambda:  

f=\frac{c}{\lambda} (2)  

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s is the speed of light in vacuum  and \lambda=400nm=400(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength of the absorbed photons in the photoelectric effect.

Substituting (2) in (1):

E=\frac{h.c}{\lambda} (3)

So, the energy E of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the Work function \Phi of the metal and the maximum kinetic energy K_{max} of the photoelectron:  

E=\Phi+K_{max} (4)  

Rewriting to find K_{max}:

K_{max}=E-\Phi (5)

Where \Phi is the minimum amount of energy required to induce the photoemission of electrons from the surface of a metal, and its value depends on the metal:

\Phi=h.f_{o}=\frac{h.c}{\lambda_{o}} (6)

Being \lambda_{o}=700nm=700(10)^{-9}m the threshold wavelength (the minimum wavelength needed to initiate the photoelectric effect)

Substituting (3) and (6) in (5):  

K_{max}=\frac{h.c}{\lambda}-\frac{h.c}{\lambda_{o}}

K_{max}=h.c(\frac{1}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{\lambda_{o}}) (7)

Substituting the known values:

K_{max}=(6.63(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)(\frac{1}{400(10)^{-9}m}-\frac{1}{700(10)^{-9}m})

K_{max}=2.13(10)^{-19} J >>>>>This is the maximum kinetic energy that ejected electrons must have when violet light illuminates the material

Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container?
Shalnov [3]
The answer is A. Or the first option. Pressure is changed by lowering the pressure, not reducing the volume. You would assume its C but its A.

The work done by an external force to move a -8.50 μC charge from point a to point b is 6.10×10−4 J . If the charge was started
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

-54.12 V

Explanation:

The work done by this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the energy. Since the charge starts from the rest its initial kinetic energy is zero.

W=\Delta E\\W=\Delta K+\Delta U\\W=K_f+\Delta U\\\Delta U=W-K_f\\\Delta U=6.10*10^{-4}J-1.50*10^{-4}J\\\Delta U=4.60*10^{-4}J

The change in electrostatic potential energy \Delta U, of one point charge q is defined as the product of the charge and the potential difference.

\Delta U=qV\\V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}\\V=\frac{4.60*10^{-4}J}{-8.50*10^{-6}C}\\V=-54.12 V

100 POINTS!!! :D
charle [14.2K]

Explanation:

... in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
