Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)
Explanation:
Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.
In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.
It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.
Answer:
4.58×10²³ atoms
5.94×10⁻²¹ J
1340 m/s
Explanation:
Use ideal gas law to find moles of gas.
PV = nRT
(1.266 atm × 101300 Pa/atm) (4/3 π (0.15 m)³) = n (8.31451 J/mol/K) (14 + 273) K
n = 0.760 mol
Use Avogadro's number to find number of atoms.
(0.760 mol) (6.02214×10²³ atom/mol) = 4.58×10²³ atoms
Average kinetic energy per molecule is:
KE = 3/2 kT
KE = 3/2 (1.38066×10⁻²³ J/K) (14 + 273) K
KE = 5.94×10⁻²¹ J
RMS speed of each atom is:
KE = 1/2 mv²
5.94×10⁻²¹ J/atom = 1/2 (0.004 kg/mol) (1 mol / 6.02214×10²³ atom) v²
v = 1340 m/s
