As you may well know, placing metal objects inside a microwave oven can generate sparks. Two of your friends are arguing over th

e cause of the sparking, with one stating that the microwaves \"herd\" electrons into \"pointy\" areas of the metal object, from which the electrons jump from one part of the object to another. The other friend says that the sparks are caused by the photoelectric effect. In this problem, we will prove or disprove the latter idea using basic physics. Suppose the typical work function of the metal is roughly 3.950 × 10-19 J. Calculate the maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal.

Answer:

5.04\cdot 10^8 A

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

Using E=\phi and solving for \lambda, we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m

And since

1 angstrom = 10^{-15}m

The wavelength in angstroms is

\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A

densk [106]

Answer:10.4 times of initial velocity

Explanation:

Given

Diameter reduced by 69 %

it approaches with velocity v_0

suppose its velocity is v during blocked passage

suppose d is the initial diameter and d_2 diameter is

d_2=d(1-0.69)

d_2=0.31 d

A_2=\frac{\pi d_2^2}{4}

As flow is constant

Q_1=Q_2

d^2v_0=d_2^2v

v=10.40 v_0

Compare between chromosphere, corona and photosphere
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Photosphere: The lowest layer of the sun is called photo sphere . It is about 300 miles thick from the surface. It is the source of solar flares. It is  marked by bright bubbling granules of plasma.

chromosphere emits a reddish glow as the super heated hydrogen burns off but the red rim can only be seen during total solar eclipse.

The third layer of the sun atmosphere is Corona. It can also only be seen during during a total solar eclipse. Temperature in corona can reach as high as 3.5 million degree fahrenheit.  As the gases cool they become solar winds.
