Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

\phi =\frac{h}{\nu ^o}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\phi = work function = energy of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\nu ^0 = frequency of the metal

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda =longest  wavelength of the radiation

\phi = 3.68\times 10^{-19} J

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the energy of the photons.

\lambda =\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{3.68\times 10^{-19} J}

\lambda =5.4016\times 10^{-7}m=540.16 nm

1 m = 10^{9} nm

540.16 nm is the wavelength of radiation.

As we know that higher the energy lower will be the wavelength.

Here, wavelength of 550 nm will have lower energy than 540.16 nm but wavelength of 500 nm will have higher energy than 540.16 nm. So, wavelength of 500 nm will be efficient to excite photo-electrons.

Which statement about surface tension is FALSE?
Georgia [21]

Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)

Explanation:

Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc

According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.

Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension
