The minimum energy needed to eject an electron from a sodium atom is 4.41 x 10-19 j. what is the maximum wavelength of light, in

Minchanka [31]

The energy of an electron as it is ejected from the atom can be calculated from the product of the Planck's constant and the frequency of the light energy. We can calculate the wavelength from the frequency we can calculate. We do as follows:

E = hv
4.41 x 10-19 = 6.62607004 × 10<span>-34 (v)
v = 6.66x10^14 /s

wavelength = speed of light / frequency
</span>
wavelength = 3x10^8 / 6.66x10^14
wavelength = 4.51x10^-7 m = 450.75 nm

A large crate is suspended from the end of a vertical rope. Is the tension in the rope greater when the crate is at rest or when

choli [55]

Answer:

Part a)

the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

tension force is more than the weight of the crate while accelerating upwards

tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

Part a)

When large crate is suspended at rest or moving with uniform speed then it is given as

$F_t - mg = ma$

here since speed is constant or it is at rest

so we will have

$a = 0$

$F_t = mg$

so the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

Now let say the crate is accelerating upwards

now we can say

$F_t - mg = ma$

$F_t = mg + ma$

so tension force is more than the weight of the crate

Now if the crate is accelerating downwards

$F_t - mg = -ma$

$F_t = mg - ma$

so tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

Light is incident on the left face of an isosceles prism; with an apex angle of 49o, such that the light exiting the right face

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

Each value in nature has a number part, called its____<br> and a dimension, or unit

saul85 [17]

Answer:

<u>Magnitude</u>

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, density

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.
