The maximum wavelength an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject an electron from a copper surface is 264 nm .What is the

work function of a copper surface?
Physics

Tamiku [17]3 years ago

Answer:

4.71 eV

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave with wavelength

\lambda=264 nm = 2.64\cdot 10^{-7} m

the energy of the photons in the wave is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2.64\cdot 10^{-7}m}=7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J

where h is the Planck constant and c the speed of light. Therefore, this is the minimum energy that a photon should have in order to extract a photoelectron from the copper surface.

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy required by the incident light in order to extract photoelectrons from the metal's surface. Therefore, the work function corresponds to the energy we found previously. By converting it into electronvolts, we find:

E=\frac{7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=4.71 eV

A sled of mass m is coasting on the icy surface of a frozen river. While it is passing under a bridge, a package of equal mass m
sweet [91]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

mass of Sled is m

another package of mass m is thrown on it

Suppose u be the initial velocity of sled

conserving momentum

mu=2mv

v=\frac{u}{2}

where v is the final velocity

Initial kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}(2m)\cdot (\frac{u}{2})^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final kinetic Energy is half of initial

The front 1.20 m of a 1,600-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a c
eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t

Clearing for time,

t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}

t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}

t = 0.1s

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}

Then

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}

F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}

F = -384000N

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax

0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)

a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}

a=480m/s^2

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}

a = 53.3g
