As you may well know, placing metal objects inside a microwave oven can generate sparks. Two of your friends are arguing over th

e cause of the sparking, with one stating that the microwaves "herd" electrons into "pointy" areas of the metal object, from which the electrons jump from one part of the object to another. The other friend says that the sparks are caused by the photoelectric effect. Prove or disprove the latter idea using basic physics. Suppose the typical work function of the metal is roughly 4.910×10−19 J.4.910×10−19 J. Calculate the maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal.

Answer:

4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

E = Energy = 4.91\times 10^{-19}\ J

Wavelength ejected is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.91\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

The maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal is 4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

How much heat is released when 35kg of water freezes?
inn [45]
You need an additional point of data here: the enthalpy of fusion, or conversely the enthalpy of melting (they differ only by their sign). For water (or ice) that value is gotten from sources such as the internet

<span>ΔH°(fus) = 6.01 kJ/mole </span>

<span>Since you have 35 000g, how many moles do you have? </span>
<span>Moles H2O = 35000 g/(18.015 g/mole) = 1942.8 moles</span>

<span>So, take that ΔH°(fus) in kJ/mole, multiply by the number of moles, and there ya go! 
</span>
6.01 x 1942.8 = 11,676 kJ of energy is released

Hope I helped!! xx

An airplane travels from st louis to portland, oregon in 4.33 hours. if the distance traveled is 2,742 kilometers, what is the a
Makovka662 [10]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance)

                       =  (2,742 km)  /  (4.33 hours)

                       =  (2,742 / 4.33)    km/hr

                       =      633 km/hr        (rounded)

Why do mirrors form inverted images?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted).
