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

Why is figure 5 an unhelpful visualization tool for this data set? <br><br> Please help!

Explanation:

Because the temperature and the radiation are not correlated, they're not represented as functions of each other, they're represented as independent variables thus using graph 5 you cannot figure out how one affect another

A car with a mass of 1.50x10^3 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 18.0m/s in 12.0 s. assume that the force of res
Luden [163]
The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
 d = v * t
 Where,
 v = speed
 t = time
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
 The kinetic energy is:
 K = ½mv²
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed
 K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
 The work due to friction is
 w = F * d
 Where,
 F = Force
 d = distance:
 w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
 The power will be:
 P = (K + work) / t
 Where,
 t: time
 P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
 answer:
 the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW

aalyn [17]

The modifications to the car design that would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car is to increase the mass of the car slightly (option B).

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. The kinetic energy equal (nonrelativistically) to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

According to this question, an engineer is designing a small toy car that will be launched from rest. The engineer wants to maximize the kinetic energy of the car when it is launched by a compressed spring.

However, he can only make one adjustment to the initial conditions of the car. Considering the fact that the mass of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy.

This suggests that the modifications to the car design that would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car is to increase the mass of the car slightly.

krok68 [10]

During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon located in the umbra. The answer is letter A. For a total lunar eclipse to occur, the Sun, Earth and Moon must be aligned in a straight line. The Earth’s umbra complete covers the Moon. The earth’s umbra is about 870,000 miles wide.
