Answer:

C' = \frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{d - a}

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the plates is given by 'A'

Separation distance between the plates is 'd'

Now, after insertion of the metal plate with same area 'A' and thickness, a < d

in between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

The capacitance of the air capacitor (parallel plate) is generally given by:

C = \frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{d}

where

C = Capacitor's capacitance

\epsilon_{o} = Permittivity of the free space

Now, when the metal slab is inserted the distance is reduced to (d - a)

Thus

C' = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{\frac{d - a}{2}})

C' = \frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{d - a}

dlinn [17]

Answer:

the observed frequency will reduce but the wavelength will increase

Explanation:

As we know

fo = fs (v/(v-vs))

fo = observed frequency

vs = velocity of source

As per this equation,  

When an observer moves away from the stationary source, the observed frequency reduces. Since the observer in the balloon is moving away from the source which itself is moving in opposite direction, the observed frequency will reduce.  

Since wavelength = V/fs . The source frequency is unchanged but the velocity is increasing as it is moving in downward direction. Hence, the wavelength will increase

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons

A heat engine exhausts 8900 j of heat while performing 2800 j of useful work. part a what is the efficiency of this engine?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Given: Heat Qout means useful work = 2800 J

           Heat Qin = 8900 J

Required; Efficiency = ?

Formula: Efficiency = Qout/Qin = x 100%

                               = 2800 J/8900 J = 0.3146 X 100 %

               Efficiency = 31.46%
