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

Which color is in the middle of the light spectrum?
Elanso [62]
Well, with the light spectrum there technically is no middle color. Both green and yellow meet up in the middle at 560 nm (wavelength interval) and 540 THz (frequency interval).

Managing and looking after a port environment. They were also vegetarian. Smoke led to pollution, so there were laws passed that factories could not be built where other buildings could be affected. There were also water systems and sewage systems that carried water to people and carried sewage away from people who could afford it at the time.

Which of the following statements are true? (mark all that apply)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(a) and (b)

Explanation:

Energy is the capacity to do work, and exists in various forms. These forms can be converted one to another by the use of appropriate means. Some examples are sound, mechanical, solar, light, which causes the sensation of vision, etc. energy is measured in Joules (J).

The rate of transfer of energy is called power.

i.e Power = \frac{energy}{time}

It is measured in Watts (W).

When a white light is disperses into its colors, gray and black are not part of the colors. And a black sometimes could be as a result of the absorption of all other colors of light.

A child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a
kirill [66]

Answer:

θ = 13.16 °

Explanation:

Lets take mass of child = m

Initial velocity ,u= 1.1 m/s

Final velocity ,v=3.7 m/s

d= 22.5 m

The force due to gravity along the incline plane = m g sinθ

The friction force = (m g)/5

Now from work power energy

We know that

work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

( m g sinθ - (m g)/5 ) d = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

(2  g sinθ - ( 2 g)/5 ) d = v² -  u²

take g = 10 m/s²

(20 sinθ - ( 20)/5 ) 22.5 = 3.7² -  1.1²

20 sinθ - 4 =12.48/22.5

θ = 13.16 °
