The energy of a photon needed to cause ejection of an electron from a photoemissive metal is expressed as the sum of the binding

energy of the electron plus the kinetic energy of the emitted electron. When photons of 4.00×10-7 m light strike a calcium metal surface, electrons are ejected with a kinetic energy of 6.26×10-20 J. a Calculate the binding energy of the calcium electrons.

Answer:

Binding\ energy=43.43\times 10^{-20}\ J

Explanation:

Using the expression for the photoelectric effect as:

E=h\nu_0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2

Also, E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

\nu_0=\frac {c}{\lambda_0}

Applying the equation as:

\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=\frac {hc}{\lambda_0}+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

\lambda is the wavelength of the light being bombarded

Given, \lambda=4.00\times 10^{-7}\ m

\frac {hc}{\lambda_0} is the binding energy or threshold energy

\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2 is the kinetic energy of the electron emitted.  = 6.26\times 10^{-20}\ J

Thus, applying values as:

\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}=Binding\ Energy+Kinetic\ Energy

\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.00\times 10^{-7}}\ J=Binding\ Energy+6.26\times 10^{-20}\ J

\frac{19.878}{10^{19}\times \:4}\ J=Binding\ Energy+6.26\times 10^{-20}\ J

49.69\times 10^{-20}\ J=Binding\ Energy+6.26\times 10^{-20}\ J

Binding\ energy=43.43\times 10^{-20}\ J

I need to know what the summary of matter is helpppppp!!!!
erica [24]

Answer:

Matter can be classified according to physical and chemical properties. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. A physical change involves the conversion of a substance from one state of matter to another, without changing its chemical composition.

I need HELP!!!<br><br> Do the benefits of nuclear power outweigh the risks?
Georgia [21]
While there is no such thing as 100 percent safe, having nuclear energy is much safer than you think. It's thousands of times safer than conventional coal and other fossil-fuel-derived energy, not to mention the specter of environmental disaster from continued use of carbon-based energy sources.

Determine the maximum number of electrons in the 2f designation
sergejj [24]
Google said

How many electrons fit in each shell around an atom?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level can be found using the following formula:

Electron Capacity = 2n2

The variable n represents the Principal Quantum Number, the number of the energy level in question.

Energy Level
(Principal Quantum Number) Shell Letter Electron Capacity
1 K 2
2 L 8
3 M 18
4 N 32
5 O 50
6 P 72
Keep in mind that an energy level need not be completely filled before electrons begin to fill the next level. You should always use the Periodic Table of Elements to check an element's electron configuration table if you need to know exactly how many electrons are in each level.
