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

A ray of light strikes a mirror with an angle of incident of 48º. Calculate: i) the angle of reflection and ii). the angle of de
Arada [10]

Answer:

I) angle of reflection = 48 degrees

II) angle of deviation = 0

Explanation:

Given that the:

angle of incident = 48º. 

According to law of reflection which state that the angle of incident is equal to the angle of reflection.

I.) Therefore,

angle of reflection = 48º. 

II.) There can only be deviation if the mirror has a diffused surface. But for a smooth plane mirror, there can never be any deviation.

Therefore ,

The angle of deviation = 0

What is the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on it
Mashcka [7]
When only the force of gravity acts on an object,
the situation is called "free fall".

The motion is uniformly accelerated.  The object falls
straight toward the center of the other object in whose
gravity it shares, and its speed increases at a constant
rate. 

When this happens on or near the surface of the Earth,
the rate is (9.8 meters per second greater) for each
second of falling.

True free-fall is never observed in daily life.  Whenever
we see an object falling, it is always falling through air,
which counteracts the force of gravity to a greater or
lesser degree, depending on the object's size, shape,
weight, surface texture, and speed through the air.
