Describe what a convection current is in how it was material than the earth

1 answer:

3 0

The movement of fluid as a result of differential heating or convection. Earth convection currents refer to the motion of molten rock in the mantle as radioactive decay heats up magma, causing it to rise and driving the global scale flow of magma.

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen

leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by $v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e}$ .....(1)
where $v_0$ is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by $1.6\times10^-^1^9$ .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation is given by:

$K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi$ ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

$ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV$

As we know that $E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ ....(3)

where Speed of light, $c = 3\times10^8 m/s$ and Planck's constant , $h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs$

From equation (3) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{ 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm$

Amy throws a softball through the air. What are the different forces acting on the ball while it’s in the air?

aniked [119]

An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.
Normal force is the component, perpendicular to the surface (surface being a plane) of contact.
The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences attractive force from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of the normal force.
Solution A.
