The work function of a material is the minimum energy required to remove an electron. Given the work function of gold is 4.90 eV

and that of cesium is 1.90 eV. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for the photoelectric emission of electrons, for gold and cesium.

Answer

given,

work function of gold = 4.90 eV

work function of cesium = 1.90 eV

using energy equation

   E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

h is plank's constant

c is the speed of light

   \lambda = \dfrac{hc}{E}

for gold

   \lambda_g = \dfrac{6.624\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  \lambda_g = 2.535\times 10^{-7}\ m

  \lambda_g = 0.254\ \mu m

for cesium

   \lambda_c = \dfrac{6.624\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  \lambda_c = 6.537\times 10^{-7}\ m

  \lambda_c = 0.654\ \mu m

An airplane is flying at a constant velocity through the air. What is the relationship between the magnitudes of the four forces
zalisa [80]

Answer:

(B) L=W; F=D

Explanation:

Since the airplane's velocity is constant, the airplane is not accelerating in any direction. In absence of acceleration, all forces acting on the plane are balanced so that the net forces in the horizontal and the vertical directions are zero. Given the drawing, this implies that

Forward force = Drag force (F=D)

Weight = Lift (W=L)

which corresponds to option (B)

(it is not C because nothing in the text says that the vertical and horizontal components have to have same magnitude)

Murljashka [212]
Magma can partially crystallize at depth and then rise to shallow depths where the remaining magma solidifies. the early-formed crystals are phenocrysts and the texture is porphyritic. in Lava or near the earth surface,very large crystals can grow, forming intrusive rocks or volcanic rocks . magma that cools in <span>shallow magma chambers </span> has a relatively short time to cool and so forms <span>fine grained rocks </span>, but not volcanic glass. in deep magma chamber, magma cools at a slow rate, allowing the formation of extrusive or plutonic rock .

An 8.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series with a battery. The potential difference across the 6.0-ohm r
ipn [44]

Answer:

a) 14 Ω

b) 2.0 A

c) 28 V

Explanation:

a) The total resistance of resistors in series is the sum:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 8.0 Ω + 6.0 Ω

R = 14 Ω

b) The current in the 6.0 Ω resistor can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = I (6.0 Ω)

I = 2.0 A

c) Since the resistors are in series, they have the same current.  So the total voltage is:

V = IR

V = (2.0 A) (14 Ω)

V = 28 V
