Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) 1.21\times 10^{15}Hz

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light  \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda

E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}, here \Phi _0 is work function.

\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}= 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz

A trumpeter is placed on a moving sidewalk that moves at a constant velocity of 4.5 m/s. A listener is standing 6.0 m in front o
bearhunter [10]
You didn't actually include the speed of sound. But it doesn't matter for this question. If the trumpeter and the listener are on the same moving sidewalk then the distance between them is not changing. The Doppler shift only happens when the distance between the source and the Observer is changing. So the Listener hears the same 290 Hertz that the trumpeter is generating.

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/
velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

 To get the  true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

 which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

 

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯,   P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

 

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector.  To get the coordinates of these two vectors,  use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.
