When you irradiate a metal with light of wavelength 433 nm in an investigation of the photoelectric effect, you discover that a

potential difference of 1.43 V is needed to reduce the current to zero. What is the energy of a photon of this light in electron volts? energy of a photon: Find the work function of the irradiated metal in electron volts. work function:

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 2.87 eV

(b) 1.4375 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

= 433 nm

Potential difference,

= 1.43 V

Now,

(a)

The energy of photon will be:

E = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}

  = 4.59\times 10^{-19} \ J

or,

  = \frac{4.59\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

  = 2.87 \ eV

(b)

As we know,

⇒ Vq=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\Phi_0

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ 1.43\times 1.6\times 10^{19}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}-\Phi_0

⇒                       \Phi_0=2.3\times 10^{-19} \ J

or,

⇒                            =\frac{2.3\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

⇒                            =1.4375 \ eV

c) What is moment of inertia? How is it defined (write an equation, explaining all the terms)? What is the parallel axis princip
ipn [44]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

What is moment of inertia?

Mathematically Moment of Inertia I = Mr²

where m = mass of the body

r = distance of body to the rotattinal axis

This is a  quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, which is the sum of the products of the mass of each particle in the body with the square of its distance from the axis of rotation.

What is the parallel axis principle for moment of inertia?

The theorem of parallel axis states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis parallel to an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of body about an axis passing through centre of mass and product of mass and square of the distance between the two axes.

(if the moment of inertia for a body is I for rotation about an axis that passes through its center of mass, what will be the moment of inertia, Ip, for rotation parallel to that axis?

Ip = I + Mα²

Explain the terms you use in the equation

where, α is the distance between two axes (also called the radius of gyration)

I is more moment of inertia about the centre of mass

Ip is the momont of inertia of the rotation parallel to the axis that passes through the centre of mass

M is the mass of the body

Gravitational force depends on the mass of an object.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

sun, earth, capitol building, human, atom

Explanation:

Gravity is directly proportional to the size of an object. Therefore, the object with the most mass will have the greatest force of gravity. We know this from the equation. F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

Which is an example of electrical energy being converted or changed into light energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]
When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.

Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.
