Answer:

The work function ϕ of the metal = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J      

Explanation:

When light is incident on a photoelectric material like metal, photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of the metal. This process is called photoelectric effect.

The relationship between the maximum kinetic energy (E_{k}) of the photoelectrons to the frequency of the absorbed photons (f) and the threshold frequency (f₀) of the photoemissive metal surface is:

                                        E_{k} = h(f − f₀)

                                        E_{k} = hf - hf₀

E is the energy of the absorbed photons:  E = hf

ϕ is the work function of the surface:  ϕ = hf₀

                                        E_{k} = E - ϕ

Frequency f = 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz

Maximum kinetic energy E_{k} = 4.16×10⁻¹⁷ J  

Speed of light  c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js                                

                                        E = hf = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ x 8.12×10¹⁸

                                        E = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

from E_{k} = E - ϕ ;

                                        ϕ = E - E_{k}

                                        ϕ = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ - 4.16×10⁻¹⁷

                                        ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

The work function of the metal ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

Answer:

<em>a) 318.2 W/m^2</em>

<em>b) 2.5 x 10^-4 J</em>

<em>c) 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Power of laser P = 1 mW = 1 x 10^-3 W

exposure time t = 250 ms = 250 x 10^-3 s

If beam diameter = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

then

cross-sectional area of beam A = \pi d^{2} /4 = (3.142 x (2*10^{-3} )^{2})/4

A = 3.142 x 10^-6 m^2

a) Intensity I = P/A

where P is the power of the laser

A is the cros-sectional area of the beam

I = ( 1 x 10^-3)/(3.142 x 10^-6) = <em>318.2 W/m^2</em>

<em></em>

b) Total energy delivered E = Pt

where P is the power of the beam

t is the exposure time

E = 1 x 10^-3 x 250 x 10^-3 = <em>2.5 x 10^-4 J</em>

<em></em>

c) The peak electric field is given as

E = \sqrt{2I/ce_{0} }

where I is the intensity of the beam

E is the electric field

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

e_{0} = 8.85 x 10^9 m kg s^-2 A^-2

E = \sqrt{2*318.2/3*10^8*8.85*10^9}  = <em>1.55 x 10^-8 v/m</em>

A certain car battery with a 12.0 V emf has an initial charge of 131 A · h. Assuming that the potential across the terminals sta
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The battery can supply 130 W for 11.75 h

Explanation:

In order to discover the time in wich the battery can supply this energy we need to find how much current is being drawn from it, we do that by using the equation for real power that is P = V*I, since we have V and P we can solve for I as seen bellow:

I = P/V = 130/12 = 10.834 A

We can use this value to find how many hours the power can supply said current. We do that by dividing the current capacity of the battery by the current drawn:

t = 141/12 = 11.75 h

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity to
AveGali [126]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount water vapor present in the atmosphere.

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of partial water vapor present in air to the actual water vapor at a particular temperature. It is expressed in percentage and the higher the percentage RH, the more the saturated water vapor present in the atmosphere and vice versa.

It is expressed mathematically as shown;

RH = actual water vapor in air/saturated water vapor × 100%

If the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter and the air's capacity to hold water vapor was 8 grams per cubic meter

Actual water vapor = 4g/cm³

Air's water capacity (saturated water vapor) = 8g/cm³

RH = 4/8×100

RH = 50%
