Answer:

Explanation: Light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum, which has a refractive index of 1.0, but it slows down to 225,000 kilometers per second in water (refractive index of 1.3; see Figure 2) and 200,000 kilometers per second in glass (refractive index of 1.5).

Fofino [41]

Answer:

$5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

$\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J$

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

Using $E=\phi$ and solving for $\lambda$ , we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m$

And since

1 angstrom = $10^{-15}m$

The wavelength in angstroms is

$\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A$

Geologists know the past temperature of the planet based on rock and fossil evidence. Why do you think it is difficult to determ

Basile [38]

Answer:

I think it is difficult to determine what has caused climate change in the distant past because it must have been a long time ago so geologists can't carry out different experiments and figure out what gases the planet had conjured, so geologists can only make predictions based off the evidence they currently have from what the planet looked like before. The planet must have changed over the years, therefore the climate has also changed in the future, so they cannot work with how the planet looked in the past.

A heat engine does 9200 J of work per cycle while absorbing 22.0 kcal of heat from a hightemperature reservoir. What is the effi

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

Why does a third class lever cannot magnify force?

maw [93]

Explanation:

The third class lever cannot magnify our force because in third class lever the effort it between the load and the fulcrum. Also, in this type of lever no matter where the force is applied, it is always greater than the force of load. Hence, That type of lever cannot magnify our force.
