List four conditions that may result in the emission of electrons from a conductor

Physics

QveST [7]3 years ago

There are 4 ways in which electrons are emitted from the conductor.

i. Thermionic emission

ii. Electric field electron emission

iii. Photoelectric emission

iv. Secondary emission


In thermionic emission large amount of external energy in the form of heat is supplied to release free electrons from the metal.


In electric field electron emission, electrons are emitted from the metal surface when the metals are placed in a very strong electric field.


During photoelectric emission, light is absorbed by the metals and this provides energy to the valence electrons which break their bond with the parent atom and which are then released from the atom.


Valence electrons do have some kinetic energy, but they don't have enough energy to escape from the atom. During secondary emission, a high-speed electron is bombarded with an atom, which provides the energy for the valence electrons to break their bonds with their parent atom which are then released from the atom.

Answer:

Conditions that result in the emission of electrons from a conductor:

Heating the conductor to a suitable temperature

Exposing the conductor to a strong light

Subjecting the conductor to a very high applied voltage

Subjecting the conductor to high-speed electrons from another source

Two objects are moving in the xy-plane. Object A has a mass of 3.2 kg and has a velocity = (2.3 m/s)i+ (4.2 m/s)j and object B h
prisoha [69]

The total momentum of the system is 2.14i + 21.27j.

A vector quantity with both direction and magnitude is momentum. Kg m/s (kilogram meter per second) or N s serve as its units (newton second).

The total starting momentum of a system must match the entire final momentum of the system since momentum is a conserved quantity. The overall momentum does not change.

The total momentum of the system is defined as follows:

As momentum is vector quantity and vectors can be added, so, the momentum of a system is given by

P = Pₓ + P'

where Pₓ is the x-component of momentum

P' is the y-component of the momentum

Also, we know that

P=mv

where m is mass

v is velocity

Thus,

P = Pₓ + P'

P = m₁vₓ + m₂v'

vₓ is the x-component of the velocity

v' is the y- component of the velocity

Given, m₁= 3.2kg

m₂ = 2.9kg

Now,

P = 3.2 (2.3i + 4.2j) + 2.9 (-1.8i +2.7j)

P = (7.36i + 13.44j) + (-5.22i + 7.83j)

P = 2.14i + 21.27j

Thus, the total momentum of the given system is 2.14i + 21.27j.

What is the difference between light energy and heat energy​
MrRissso [65]

ANSWER:

What is the difference between heat and light? - Physics Stack ... Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.

A ball is dropped off the roof of a tall building. If the ball reaches the ground in 8 seconds, how tall is the building, in met
Ghella [55]

Let <em>b</em> be the height of the building, and <em>y</em> the height of the ball at time <em>t</em>, given by

<em>y</em> = <em>b</em> - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

It takes the ball 8 s to reach the ground, at which point <em>y</em> = 0, so that

0 = <em>b</em> - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 313.6 m
