Answer:

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

We know that

E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}

h= plank's constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength of the incident light

so, in order to have sufficient energy for for the emission of electron, the incident's radiation must have λ small enough.

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so v_0=0. Replacing the given values and solving for g':

g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}. So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng
natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

  • Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

       c = \lambda* f (1)

  • Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

       \lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m  (2)
