g he work functions of gold, aluminum, and cesium are 5.1 eV, 4.1 eV, and 2.1 eV, respectively. If light of a particular frequen

cy causes photoelectrons to be emitted when the light is incident on an aluminum surface, explain if we know whether this means that photoelectrons are emitted from a gold surface or a cesium surface when the light is incident on those surfaces.

Answer:

Explanation:

Work function of aluminium  is  4.1 eV .

Therefor light of minimum energy of 4.1 eV will be required to cause the emission of electrons.

If we use this frequency of light or energy of light  to effect ejection of photoelectrons from cesium , it will be easily   ejected because energy requirement for this metal is lower ( work function is lower 2.1 eV ). than the energy of photon falling on it.

If we use this frequency of light or energy of light  to effect ejection of photoelectrons from aluminium  , it will be not  ejected because energy requirement for this metal is high ( work function is higher 5.1 eV ) . Even if we increase the intensity of light , electrons will not be ejected because energy of each photon depends upon the frequency .

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A ,   n 1  =  4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B ,   n 2  =  3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A ,   K A  =  9500  J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B ,   Δ K  =  600 J

Gas constant   R  = 8.314  J / molK

Let  K B  be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J

The shortening of a transmitted signal's wavelength and/or an increase in its frequency, which indicates that the object is
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: The Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave is moving relative to an observer (or the observer is moving relative to the source). In this case, the apparent frequency of the sound, as heard/seen by the observer, is shifted with respect to the original frequency of the wave.

More specifically, the relationship between the apparent frequency, f', and the original frequency, f, is given by:

where:

is the velocity of the wave

is the velocity of the observer relative to the source, and it is positive if the observer is moving towards the source, and negative if the observer is moving away from the source

is the velocity of the source relative to the observer, and it is positive if the source is moving away from the observer, and negative if the source is moving towards the observer

The doppler effect occurs in many daily-life situations: for instance, when an ambulance approaches you, you hear an increase in the apparent frequency of the siren due to the Doppler effect. Another example is the movements of distant galaxies from us: when they move away from us, the apparent frequency of the light they emit decreases, so their wavelengths appear to increase towards the red color (red-shift); on the contrary, when they are moving towards us, the apparent frequency seems to increase, so the wavelength seems to decrease towards the blue color (blue-shift).

4. The chart shows melting and boiling points of
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

Firstly, it should be noted that the freezing point of a substance can be assumed to be melting point of that substance because a substance will normally change from liquid to solid (freezes) at the same point it changes from solid to liquid (melts). For example, water freezes at 0°C and also starts melting at 0°C.

Thus, the substance with the lowest melting point among the substances mentioned in the question is alcohol (ethanol) with the melting point of -114°C. Hence, <u>ethanol also has the lowest freezing point thereby freezing at the lowest temperature.</u>
