Answer: An iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light (by the photoelectric effect)

Explanation:

The first atomic model was the one proposed by Jhon Dalton, according to which it is postulated that:

"Matter is made up of indivisible, indestructible and extremely small particles called atoms."

That is, the atom is a solid and indivisible mass.

However, the fenomenom by which an iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light (known as the photoelectric effect) can not be explaind by this indivisible atom model.

To understand it better:

The photoelectric effect consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

This is possible by considering light as a stream of photons, where each of them has energy. This energy is be able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a kinetic energy. This means the atom is not indivisible, but it is a composition of different particles.

In fact, currently it is known that each atom is composed of a nucleus and one or more electrons attached to the nucleus, which is composed of one or more protons and typically a similar number of neutrons.

Which of the following usually occurs with a short circuit? a. All parts of the circuit will begin to carry higher amounts of cu

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Hi,

The correct answer option is; D. Most of the current will flow through one part of the circuit.

Explanation:

A short circuit is a low resistance path in an electric connection between two conductors supplying current in a circuit.

It happens when excess amounts of current flow in the power source through a 'short path'.

Short circuits occur at very high temperatures which is of course caused by the heat produced during dissipation.

An example of application of short circuit is arc welding, where heating is achieved through short circuit.

The eyes of some reptiles are sensitive to 850 nm light. If the minimum energy to trigger the receptor at this wavelength is 3.1

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of one photon is given by the relation :

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ....(1)

Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.

Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.

Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,

E₁ = N x E

Put equation (1) in the above equation.

$E_{1}=N\times\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

$3.15\times10^{-14} =N\times\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{850\times10^{-9}}$

N = 1.35 x 10⁵
