Electron kinetic energies are often measured in units of electron-volts (1 eV 1.6 x 10-19 J), which is the kinetic energy of an

electron that is accelerated through a 1 volt potential. When an aluminum plate is irradiated with UV light of 253.5 nm wavelength the ejected electrons are observed to have an average kinetic energy of about 0.8 eV. Use these results to determine the electron binding energy (or "work function") o of aluminum (in eV units).

Answer:

4.1 eV

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, K = 0.8 eV = 0.8 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 1.28 x 10^-19 J

wavelength, λ = 253.5 nm = 253.5 x 10^-9 m

According to the Einstein energy equation

E = W_{o}+K

Where, E be the energy incident, Wo is the work function and K is the kinetic energy.

h = 6.634 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.634 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{253.5\times 10^{-9}}=7.85 \times 10^{-19} J

So, the work function, Wo = E - K

Wo = 7.85 x 10^-19 - 1.28 x 10^-19

Wo = 6.57 x 10^-19 J

Wo = 4.1 eV

Thus, the work function of the metal is 4.1 eV.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The electric bill for June is Rs198000

Explanation:

Convert volt to watt, but in order to do so I need to know the amps and since it is not provided I converted if the amps was 1.

I multiple 50 with 10 then  with 30 so I know how much watt the fan takes at June.

Since there are 2 light bulb I multiple 10 with 2 than with 8 than with 30.

15000 watts for the fan,

4800 watts for light bulb,

add them and then times it by 10.

Rs198000
