Answer:

Minimum required frequency is υmin = 654.9 x 10¹² Hz

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation:

E = hυ

where,

E = energy of photon

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

υ = frequency

The minimum energy of photon, must be equal to the work function of Calcium.

Emin = ∅₀ = h(υmin)

υmin = ∅₀/h

where,

υmin = minimum frequency

∅₀ = work function = 4.34 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore,

υmin = 4.34 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

<u>υmin = 654.9 x 10¹² Hz</u>

Suppose that a sound has initial intensity β1 measured in decibels. This sound now increases in intensity by a factor f. What is
topjm [15]

Answer:

β2= β1+10*f

Explanation:

comparing β2 and β1, it is said that β2 is increased by a factor of f.

for each factor of f, there is a 10*f dB increase.

therefore if the β1 is increases by an intensity of factor f

the new intensity would be β1+ 10*f

A piece of metal has attained a velocity of 107.8 m/sec after fallinf for 10 seconds what is its initial velocity
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

7.8 m/s

Explanation:

Here object is falling with a gravitational acceleration there  for we can take acceleration = 10 m/ s² and its constant through out the motion there for we can use motion equation

V = U + at

V - Final velocity

U - Initial velocity

a - acceleration

t - time

V=U+at

107.8=U + 10×10

  = 7.8 m/s
