Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

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

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>

I would go with salt in ocean water as when you heat it and the water begins to evaporate it will leave the salt behind


Also water in mud as the water would evaporate and leave the mud residue behind

alculate the kinetic energies of (a) a 2.00×103-kg automobile moving at 100.0 km/h; (b) an 80.0-kg runner sprinting at 10.0 m/s;
zzz [600]

Answer:

(a) 7.72×10⁵ J

(b) 4000 J

(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

(a)

For a moving automobile,

Ek = 1/2mv².

Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)

Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J

(b)

For a sprinting runner,

Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)

Ek = 40(100)

Ek = 4000 J

(c)

For a moving electron,

Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²

Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Tpy6a [65]
Hello
It is called lightning. Lightning in a storm occurs when there are two regions (it can be cloud-cloud or cloud-ground), one with a strong excess of positive charges and the other one with a strong excess of negative charges. The two types of charge attract each other, and then a sudden flow of charges from one region to the other occurs, which is called lightning.
