Answer:

4. B and D

Explanation:

Two points along a transverse wave (such as the one in the figure) are said to be in phase when:

- the vertical position of the two points is the same

- The oscillation of the wave is going in the same way for both points

Basically, we say that two points are in phase when they are separated by a complete cycle (one complete oscillation) of the wave.

For this wave, we see that point B and C have same displacement, but they are not in phase since in B the oscillation is going down while in C is going up.

Instead, B and D are in phase, because they are separated by one complete cycle: both points have same displacement and the oscillation is going in the same way for both of them.

UV radiaGon having a wavelength of 120 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum kine

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

First we calculate the energy of photon:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength = 120 nm = 1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (16.565 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

E = 10.35 eV

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric equation we know that:

Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E of Electron

10.35 eV = 4.82 eV + K.E

K.E = 10.35 eV - 4.82 eV

If the potential across two parallel plates, separated by 4.0 cm, is 15.0 V, what is the electric field strength in volts per me

abruzzese [7]

Field strength = (15 V) / (4 cm)

Field strength = (15 V) / (0.04 meter)

Field strength = (15/0.04) (volts/meter)

<em>Field strength = 375 volts/meter </em>

Two forces,one of 12 N and another of 24 N,act on a body in such a way that they make an angle of 90degree with each other.Find

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

26.83 N.

Explanation:

If the angle between two vector is 90°, to get the resultant, we use Pythagoras theorem.

a² = b²+c²......................... Equation 1

Where a = R = Resultant, b = 12 N, c = 24 N.

Substitute these values into equation 1

R² = 12²+24²

R² = 144+576

R² = 720

√R² = √720

R = 26.83 N.

Hence, the result of the two force is 26.83 N.

a 2.0-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 330 k. it expands from initial volume 19 l to final v

shutvik [7]

Isothermal Work = PVln(v₂/v₁)

PV = nRT = 2 mole * 8.314 J/ (k.mol) * 330 k = 5487.24 J

Isothermal Work = PVln(v₂/v₁) v₂ = ? v₁ = 19L,

1.7 kJ = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

1700 = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

In(v₂/19) = (1700/5487.24) = 0.3098

In(v₂/19) = 0.3098

(v₂/19) = $e^{0.3098}$

v₂ = 19* $e^{0.3098}$

v₂ = 25.8999

v₂ ≈ 26 L Option b.
