Answer:

A. Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave and in mechanical wave its a longitudinal wave. It is a longitudinal wave because the particles of the wave move along the direction of propagation of wave instead of being perpendicular to it like in transverse wave. It can also be said that the displacement of the medium is in the direction of propagation if the wave.

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19

just olya [345]

Answer:

$3.75*10^{-13}$ electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

$Q=N*q_{e}$

$q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C$ charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

$N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}$

The maximum wavelength that an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject electrons from a metal surface is 459 nm. What is t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

2.7067 eV

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

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

$\lambda_0$ = Threshold wavelength = 459 nm

Work function is given by

$W_0=\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}\\\Rightarrow W_0=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{459\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow W_0=4.33072\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Converting to eV

$1\ J=\frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV$

$4.33072\times 10^{-19}\ J=4.33072\times 10^{-19}\times \frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\ eV=2.7067\ eV$

The work function W0 of this metal is 2.7067 eV
