Answer:
Ф = 2.179 eV
Explanation:
This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.
E = K + Ф
the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation
E = h f
we substitute
h f = K + Ф
Ф= hf - K
the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency
c = λ f
f = c /λ
Φ = 
let's reduce the energy to the SI system
K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J
calculate
Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹ -1.424 10⁻¹⁹
Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹
Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J
we reduce to eV
Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)
Ф = 2.179 eV
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
Explanation:
Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.
Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.
<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.
