Answer:

A mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.

The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

Light with a wavelength range of 141–295 nm shines on a silicon surface in a photoelectric effect apparatus, and a reversing pot

Ksju [112]

Answer:

a) the longest wavelength of the light that will eject electrons from the silicon surface is 258.7891 nm

b) maximum kinetic energy will electrons reach the anode is 0.5098 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength range = 141-295 nm

Potential of 3.5 V

For the silicon, the work function is Φ = 4.8 eV = 7.68x10⁻¹⁹J

Questions:

a) What is the longest wavelength of the light that will eject electrons from the silicon surface, λ = ?

b) With what maximum kinetic energy will electrons reach the anode,

a) The longest wavelength that will eject electrons:

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

Here

h = Planck's constant = 6.625x10⁻³⁴J s

c = speed of light = 3x10⁸m/s

Substituting values:

$\lambda =\frac{6.625x10^{-34}*3x10^{8} }{7.68x10^{-19} } =2.588x10^{-7} m=258.7891nm$

b) The maximum kinetic energy (one electron):

$K=\frac{hc}{\lambda } -\phi =\frac{6.625x10^{-34}*3x10^{8} }{141x10^{-9} } -7.68x10^{-19} =6.416x10^{-19} J=4.0098eV$

Now, you need to calculate the potential difference:

$K'=eV$

Here

e = charge of electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

Substituting:

$K'=1.6x10^{-19} *3.5=5.6x10^{-19} J=3.5eV$

Now, the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons:

Kmax = 4.0098 - 3.5 = 0.5098 eV

During which stage of the water cycle does water from the ocean form clouds?

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.
