In the photoelectric effect, the energy of the incoming photon (E=hf) is used in part to extract the photoelectron from the metal (work function) and the rest is converted into kinetic energy of the photoelectron:
hf = \phi + K
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the incident light
\phi is the work function of the material
K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectron.

The photoelectron generally loses part of its kinetic energy inside the material; however, we are interested in its maximum kinetic energy, that is the one the electron has when it doesn't lose energy, so we can rewrite the previous equation as
K_{max} = hf - \phi

The work function is (in Joule)
\phi = (4.97 eV)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=7.95 \cdot 10^{-19} J

and using the data of the problem, we find the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons
K_{max} = (6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(1.5 \cdot 10^{15} Hz)-7.95 \cdot 10^{-19}J= 1.95 \cdot 10^{-19} J

A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Llana [10]

B: an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

This is based on the concept of force on an object.

Now, formula for force is commonly known as;

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, mass and acceleration are the input values that make the output which is the Force to either increase or decrease.

  • Now, for the line of dominoes to fall, it means that the force was so overwhelming that the dominoes couldn't resist it.

Now, this output which is the force became so much as a result of the increase in acceleration of the motion that triggered its movement.

Moreover, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration!

Thus, we can say that an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

The diagram shows monochromatic light passing through two openings.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other

Explanation:

Some definitions:

- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)

For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.
