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

I appreciate any help I get on this, thank you in advanced :)

The picture isn’t clear so I can’t read the dimensions of the box but I can try my best to guide u through the question.

For part a u need to find the volume of the box as that will equal the volume of sand that can be filled inside.
For this u multiply the height, width and length of the box.

For part b the mass of sand alone will be
=Mass of box + sand - Mass of empty box
=216 - 40
=176 grams

For part c the density of sand can be calculated by the formula
Density= Mass/Volume
So the mass (176g) / volume from part a

For part d u need to know that something will float if it has a lower density than what it is floating in. If the final density of sand that was found in part c is less than the density of gold (19.3 g/cm^3) it will float. Otherwise it will sink.

Hope this helped!

A man runs 1200m on a straight line in 4 min . find his velocity.
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

5m/sec^2

Explanation:

Distance=1200m

Time=4 min

1=60sec

4=4 x 60

=240sec

Velocity=Distance/Time

Velocity=1200/240

Velocity=5m/sec^2
