The amount of energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom is a quantity called the ionization energy, Ei. This energy ca

n be measured by a technique called photoelectron spectroscopy, in which light of wavelength λ is directed at an atom, causing an electron to be ejected. The kinetic energy of the ejected electron (Ek) is measured by determining its velocity, υ (Ek= mυ2/2), and Ei is then calculated using the conservation of energy principle. That is, the energy of the incident light equals Ei plus Ek. What is the ionization energy of selenium atoms in kJ/mol if light with λ = 48.2 nm produces electrons with a velocity of 2.371x106 m/s? The mass, m, of an electron is 9.109x10-31 kg. (Round to the ones place.)

Answer:

The value is E_i  =  1.5596 *10^{-18} \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is \lambda  =  48.2 nm  =  48.2  *10^{- 9 }\  m

The velocity is v = 2.371*10^6 \ m/s

The mass of electron is m_e  =  9.109*10^{-31} \  kg

Generally the energy of the incident light is mathematically represented as

E =  \frac{h *  c}{\lambda}

Here c is the speed of light with value c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

h is the Planck constant with value h = 6.62607015 *  10^{-34 }  J\cdot s

So

E =  \frac{6.62607015 *  10^{-34 }* 3.0 *10^{8}}{48.2  *10^{- 9 }}

=> E = 4.12 *10^{-18} \  J

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

E_k  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m_e * v^2

=> E_k  =  \frac{1}{2} *  9.109*10^{-31} * (2.371*10^6 )^2

=> E_k  =  2.56 *0^{-18} \  J

Generally the ionization energy is mathematically represented as

E_i  =  4.12 *10^{-18} -   2.56 *0^{-18}

=>     E_i  =  1.5596 *10^{-18} \  J

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

Can someone help me please? I’ve been trying to solve these questions all day.
qwelly [4]

#16

If we put a resistor in circuit it will slow the speed of current

Let's check ohms law

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V}{I}=R

  • So if resistance is more current is less

#17

Again use ohms law

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V=IR

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V\propto I

  • Voltage must be increased

I need to know the right answer to that question
ad-work [718]
The answer is C 8.87*10^4 m/s (it shouldn't be m/s^2 though as velocity is in m/s)

Since you know the acceleration is 12 m/s^2, the initial velocity is 2.39*10^4 m/s and the time (you have to convert to seconds) is 5400 seconds, then you can use the equation

v = vo + at

When you plug in the values you get

v = 2.39*10^4 + 5400*12 . so v = 8.87*10^4 m/s. C is your answer.
