Answer:

Explanation:

Frequency of 3 x 10¹⁵ ,  wavelength = 3 x 10⁸/3 x 10¹⁵ = 10⁻⁷ m = 1000A.

Energy in eV = 12375/1000 = 12.375 eV.

Maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons = 6.1 eV

Work function = 12.375 - 6.1 = 6.275 eV.

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at 270 m/s in the i hat direction undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationa
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

V_p = 267.258 m/s

V_n = 38.375 m/s      

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

P_i = P_f

where P_i is the inicial momemtum and P_f is the final momentum

the linear momentum is calculated by the next equation

P = MV

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

so:

P_i = m(270 m/s)

P_f = mV_P + M_nV_n

where m is the mass of the proton and V_p is the velocity of the proton after the collision, M_n is the mass of the nucleus and V_n is the velocity of the nucleus after the collision.

therefore, we can formulate the following equation:

m(270 m/s) = mV_p + 14mV_n

then, m is cancelated and we have:

270 = V_p + 14V_n

This is a elastic collision, so the kinetic energy K is conservated. Then:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}MV^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(270)^2

and

Kf = \frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2

then,

\frac{1}{2}m(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2

here we can cancel the m and get:

\frac{1}{2}(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2

now, we have two equations and two incognites:

270 = V_p + 14V_n  (eq. 1)

\frac{1}{2}(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2

in the second equation, we have:

36450 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2  (eq. 2)

from this last equation we solve for V_n as:

V_n = \sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }

and replace in the other equation as:

270 = V_p + 14\sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }

so,

V_p = -267.258 m/s

Vp is negative because the proton go in the -i hat direction.

Finally, replacing this value on eq. 1 we get:

V_n = \frac{270+267.258}{14}

V_n = 38.375 m/s
