In a photoelectric experiment it is found that a stopping potential of 1.00 V is needed to stop all the electrons when incident

light of wavelength 278 nm is used and 2.6 V is needed for light of wavelength 207 nm. From these data determine Planck's constant and the work function of the metal.

Answer:

Planck’s constant is 6.9*10^{-34} Js

work function of metal is 5.846*10^{-19}

Explanation:

The maximum kinetic energy from electron from photoelectric effect is given by

\K_{max}=eV_o where V_o  is applied voltage and e is charge on electron and substituting charge on electron by 1.6*10^{-19}  and 1.00 V for V_o  

K_{max}=1.6*10^{-19}*1=1.6*10^{-19} J

Considering that the wavelength, \lambda of light used is given as 278*10^{-9} m

Energy of light is given by

E=\frac {hc}{ \lambda}   where \lambda  is the wavelength, h is Planck’s constant and c is speed of light. Taking c for 3*10^{8} m/s  

Substituting values of wavelength and speed of light we obtain

E=\frac {h*3*10^{8}}{278*10^{-9}}=h1.07914*10^{15} J

If work function is \phi  then

E=\phi + k_{max}  hence

h1.07914*10^{15} J=\phi +1.6*10^{-19} J ------- Equation 1

Energy corresponding to wavelength of 207 nm is

E=h\frac {3*10^{8} m/s}{207*10^{-9}}=h(1.45*10^{15}}) J

Maximum kinetic energy of electrons when V_o  is 2.6 V becomes

K_{max}=(1.6*10^{-19})*2.6V=4.16*10^{-19} J

From E=\phi + k_{max}  and substituting h(1.45*10^{15}}) J  for E and 4.16*10^{-19} J  for K_{max}  we have

h(1.45*10^{15}}) J=\phi +4.16*10^{-19} J ------ Equation 2

Equation 2 minus equation 1 gives

h3.71*10^{14}=2.56*10^{-19}

h=\frac {2.56*10^{-19}}{3.71*10^{14}}\approx 6.9*10^{-34} Js

Therefore, Planck’s constant is 6.9*10^{-34} Js

Recalling equation 1 and substituting back the value of h as obtained

h1.07914*10^{15} J=\phi +1.6*10^{-19} J

(6.9*10^{-34})*(1.07914*10^{15})=\phi +1.6*10^{-19} J

\ph=(6.9*10^{-34})*(1.07914*10^{15})-(1.6*10^{-19})=5.846*10^{-19}

Therefore, work function of metal is 5.846*10^{-19}

The lower the value of the coefficient of friction,the_the resistance to sliding​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

lower

Explanation:

The lower the value of the coefficient of friction, the lower the resistance to sliding.

The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the frictional force and the normal force pressing two surfaces in contact together.

               U  = \frac{F}{N}  

U is the coefficient of friction

F is the frictional force

N is the normal force

 We see that coefficient of friction is directly proportional to frictional force.

A team of dogs accelerates a 290kg dogsled from 0 to 6.0m/s in 3.0 s. Assume that the acceleration is constant.Part AWhat is the
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

(a) a=2m/sec^2

(b) 5220 j

(c) 1740 watt

(d) 3446.66 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 290 kg

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Final velocity v = 6 m/sec

Time t = 3 sec

From first equation of motion

v = u+at

So a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{6-0}{3}=2m/sec^2

(a) We know that force is given by

F = ma

So force will be F=290\times 2=580N

(b) From second equation of motion we know that

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3^2=9m

We know that work done is given by

W = F s = 580×9 =5220 j

(c) Time is given as t = 3 sec

We know that power is given as

P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{3}=1740Watt

(d) Time t = 1.5 sec

So P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{5220}{1.5}=3466.66Watt

How did early life forms begin to evolve to adapt oxygen
amid [387]

Answer:

As evolutionary biologists have shown, this multicellularity was linked to the rise in oxygen and thus played a significant role for life on Earth as it is today. ... By producing oxygen and evolving into multicellular forms, they played a key role in the emergence of organisms that breathe oxygen.

A 10,000-watt radio station transmits at 535 kHz. Determine the number of joules transmitted per second. 10,000 J/s 10 J/s 535 J
REY [17]
1 nanowatt  =  1 nanojoule/sec
1 watt  =  1 joule/sec
10 watts  =  10 joules/sec
100 watts  =  100 joules/sec
742.914 watts  =  742.914 joules/sec
1,000 watts  =  1,000 joules/sec
10,000 watts  =  10,000 joules/sec
100,000 watts  =  100,000 joules/sec
1 megawatt  =  1 megajoule/sec
1 gigawatt  =  1 gigajoule/sec
1 petawatt  =  1 petajoule/sec

We don't care what frequency the transmission is using,
or who their morning DJ is.
