Answer:

\lambda=241.9\ nm

Explanation:

The work function of the sodium= 495.0 kJ/mol

It means that  

1 mole of electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

Also,  

1 mole = 6.023\times 10^{23}\ electrons

So,  

6.023\times 10^{23} electrons can be removed by applying of 495.0 kJ of energy.

1 electron can be removed by applying of \frac {495.0}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\ kJ of energy.

Energy required = 82.18\times 10^{-23}\ kJ

Also,  

1 kJ = 1000 J

So,  

Energy required = 82.18\times 10^{-20}\ J

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

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

So,  

79.78\times 10^{-20}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{82.18\times 10^{-20}}

\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-20}\times \:82.18}

\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^6\times \:82.18}

\lambda=2.4188\times 10^{-7}\ m

Also,  

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,  

\lambda=241.9\ nm

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Both scientific laws and scientific theories are not based on hypothesis.

Because , scientific laws are proven and so they are real not hypothetical.

Whereas scientifc theories can be hypothetical.

Thank you

Two examples of energy transformations are shown.
erastova [34]

The energy transformations are similar because they result into radiant energy.

As for the lamp, Electrical energy is transformed into light when the filament

or mercury vapor glows on passage of current.

The fire- chemical energy is turned to light energy during the combustion of carbon.  Both products comprise of ultraviolet radiation which is a form of radiant energy.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances
