Answer:

B. Maximum velocity of ejected electrons.

Explanation:

The ejection of electrons form a metal surface when the metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of sufficiently short wavelength or higher frequency (or equivalently, above a threshold frequency), which leads to the enough energy of the wave to incident and get absorbed to the exposed surface emits electrons. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect or photo-emission.

The minimum amount of energy required by a metal surface to eject an electron from its surface is called work function of metal surface.

The electrons thus emitted are called photo-electrons.

The current produced as a result is called photo electricity.

Energy of photon is given by:

$E=h.\nu$

where:

h = Planck's constant

$\nu=$ frequency of the incident radiation.

Answer:

(a) 8 V, (b) 144000 V, (c) 2 x 10^(-8) C

Explanation:

(a) charge, q = 5 μC , Work, W = 40 x 10-^(-6) J

The electric potential is given by

W = q V

$40\times10^{-6}=5 \times10^{-6}\times V\\\\V = 8 V$

(b)

charge, q = 8 x 10^(-6) C, distance, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Let the potential is V.

$V =\frac{k q}{r}\\\\V =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{0.5}\\\\V =144000 V$

(c)

Work, W = 8 x 10^(-5) J, Potential difference, V = 4000 V

Let the charge is q.

W= q V

$8\times10^{-5}= q\times 4000\\\\q =2\times 10^{-8} C$

Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object to vibrate. What form of waves ar

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Resonance depends on objects, this may happen for example when you play guitar in a given room, you may find that for some notes the walls or some object vibrate more than for others. This is because those notes are near the frequency of resonance of the walls.

So waves involved are waves that can move or affect objects (in this case the pressure waves of the sound, and the waves that are moving the wall).

this means that the waves are mechanic waves.

Now, in electromagnetics, you also can find resonance frequencies for electromagnetic waves trapped in things called cavities, but this is a different topic.
