Answer:
The speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of the ultraviolet light beam, λ = 130 nm = 130 x 10⁻⁹ m
the work function of the molybdenum surface, W₀ = 4.2 eV = 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
The energy of the incident light is given by;
E = hf
where;
h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s
f = c / λ
Photo electric effect equation is given by;
E = W₀ + K.E
Where;
K.E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron
K.E = E - W₀
K.E = 15.291 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
K.E = 8.563 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Kinetic energy of the emitted electron is given by;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
where;
m is mass of the electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg
v is the speed of the electron
Therefore, the speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
Answer:
The correct option is;
- 4x
Explanation:
From the inverse square law, as the distance from the source of a physical quantity increases, the intensity of the source is spread over an area proportional to the square of the distance of the object from the source
The inverse square law can be presented as follows;
As the distance, r, increases, the surface it covers also increases by the power of 2
Therefore, where the distance increases from r to 2·r, we have;
When, I, remain constant
The surface increases to 4·S by the inverse square law
Therefore, the correct option is 4 × x.
