What happens to a low-frequency photon when it hits a metal plate if its energy is less than the work function W0?

Answer:

There is no emission of electron

Explanation:

As we know by Einstein equation

h\nu = W_o + KE

now if the initial frequency of photon is very small or if it is less than the work function of the metal then in that case the photon energy is not sufficient to eject out an electron from metal.

So here the photon is not absorbed by the metal and reflected back by the surface. So photoelectric emission is only possible when the incident photon is having energy more than the energy of the work function.

So here we can say that there is no emission of electron from that surface

The photon is reflected at the same frequency in a different direction.  No electrons are ejected so no loss in energy (frequency) of the photon

A horizontal spring with a spring constant 100 N/m is compressed 20cm and used to launch a 2.5kg box across a frictionless, hori
Verdich [7]

Answer:

   d = 0.544 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must work in two parts: one when the surface has no friction and the other when the surface has friction

Let's start with the part without rubbing, let's find the speed that the box reaches., For this we use the conservation of mechanical energy in two points: maximum compression and when the box is free (spring without compression)

Initial, maximum compression

    Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final, free box without compressing the spring

    Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

    Emo = Em_{f}

    ½ k x² = ½ m v²

    v = √ (k / m) x

Let's reduce the SI units measures

    x = 20 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.20 m

    v = √ (100 / 2.5) 0.20

    v = 1,265 m / s

Let's work the second part, where there is friction. In this part the work of the friction force is equal to the change of mechanical energy

   W_{fr} = ΔEm = Em_{f} - Em₀

   W_{fr} = - fr d

Final point. Stopped box

   Em_{f} = 0

Starting point, starting the rough surface

   Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

With Newton's second law we find the force of friction

    fr = μ N

    N-W = 0  

   N = W = mg

   fr = μ mg

   -μ m g d = 0 - ½ m v²

   d = ½ v² / (μ g)

Let's calculate

   d = ½ 1,265² / (0.15 9.8)

   d = 0.544 m

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

I would say a pond

Explanation:

A pond is more still than an ocean, therefore you could see your reflection better

The electric potential, when measured at a point equidistant from two particles that have charges equal in magnitude but of oppo
Reika [66]

Answer:

C) equal to zero

Explanation:

Electric potential is calculated by multiplying constant and charge, then dividing it by distance. The location that we want to measure is equidistant from two particles, mean that the distance from both particles is the same(r2=r1). The charges of the particle have equal strength of magnitude but the opposite sign(q2=-q1). The resultant will be:V = kq/r

ΔV= V1 + V2= kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

ΔV= V1 + V2= kq1/r1 + k(-q1)/(r)1

ΔV= kq1/r1 - kq1/r1

ΔV=0

The electric potential equal to zero

Determine the magnitude of the minimum acceleration at which the thief can descend using the rope. Express your answer to two si
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

A 69-kg petty thief wants to escape from a third-story jail window. Unfortunately, a makeshift rope made of sheets tied together can support a mass of only 58 kg.

answer:

To 2 significant Figures = 1.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Calculate the magnitude of minimum acceleration at which the thief can descend </u>

we apply the relation below

Mg - T = Ma  --- ( 1 )

M = 69kg

g = 9.81

T = 58 * 9.81

a = ? ( magnitude of minimum acceleration)

From equation 1

a = [ ( 69 * 9.81 ) - ( 58 * 9.81 ) ] / 69

  = 1.5639 m/s^2

To 2 significant Figures = 1.6 m/s^2

Please answer correctly<br>will give the brainliest<br>Urgent​
EastWind [94]

Answer:

f (frequency) = V / y   where V is the speed of sound and y the wavelength

f = 1500 m/s / 1.5 m = 1000 / sec

T (period) = 1 / f = .001 sec

Suppose you replace the horn by a drum then the period would be the time between the beats of the drum - now if the source is moving towards the observer then the distance between crests  of the wave produced by the drum will be shortened by V * T because of the motion of the drum "towards" the observer, and since the wavelength is shorter the frequency heard by the observer will be higher, and the higher the speed of of the car the shorter the wavelength as seen by the observer and the higher the frequency.

Also, if the car is moving away from the observer then the distance between the crests of the wave emitted will be further apart, and the observer will hear a lower frequency.
