An orbiting satellite can become charged by the photoelectric effect when sunlight ejects electrons from its outer surface. Sate

llites must be designed to minimize such charging. Suppose a satellite is coated with platinum, a metal with a very large work function (Φ = 5.32 eV). Find the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum.

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф   ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф  ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

A light spring stretches 0.13 m when a 0.35 kg mass is hung from it. The mass is pulled down from this equilibrium position an a
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

v = 1.30 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass hung = 0.35 Kg

spring stretched when load is hanged  (x)= 0.13 m

now,

weight of the mass attached = Kx

             m g = k x

             0.35 x 9.8 = k x 0.13

                k = 26.38 N/m

now, using conservation of energy

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

 v = \sqrt{\dfrac{kx'^2}{m}}

 v = \sqrt{\dfrac{26.38 \times 0.15^2}{0.35}}

 v = \sqrt{1.6958}

    v = 1.30 m/s

How do I solve this​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

W = 8.01 × 10^(-17) [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to know the electron is a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electrical charge (-1,602 × 10-19 C), The expression to calculate the work is given by:

W = q*V

where:

q = charge = 1,602 × 10^(-19) [C]

V = voltage = 500 [V]

W = work [J]

W = 1,602 × 10^(-19) * 500

W = 8.01 × 10^(-17) [J]

Imagine you’re an engineer making a string of battery powered holiday lights. If a bulb burns out current cannot flow through th
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The 2 light bulbs can be connected in parallel to each other to avoid disconnection when one bulb burns out.

Explanation:

The parallel connection is required not series. A parallel connection is the connection of electronic components (e.g bulbs, LED, resistors, capacitors etc) in such a way that the same voltage is supplied across the ends of the components.  While in a series connection, the components are connected to each other end-to-end.

As regard the question, parallel connection ensures that the brightness any of the bulbs is not affected with respect to the other bulbs. And other bulbs continue to function when any burns out. The 2 light bulbs should be connected in parallel to the baterry to avoid disconnection of all the bulbs.
