When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light

A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge
Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that, a long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire.

The charge per unit length of the wire is \lambda and the net charge per unit length is 2 \lambda.

We know that there exist zero electric field inside the metal cylinder.

(a) Using Gauss's law to find the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. Let \lambda_i\ and\ \lambda_o are the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder.

For inner surface,

\phi=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

E.A=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

0=\dfrac{\lambda_i+\lambda}{\epsilon_o}

\lambda_i=-\lambda  

For outer surface,

\lambda_i+\lambda_o=2\lambda

-\lambda+\lambda_o=2\lambda

\lambda_o=3\lambda

(b) Let E is the electric field outside the cylinder, a distance r from the axis. It is given by :

E_o=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

E_o=\dfrac{3\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

Hence, this is the required solution.

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

A 0.50 kg object is attached to a spring with force constant 157 N/m so that the object is allowed to move on a horizontal frict
Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of an object is 0.5 kg

Force constant of the spring is 157 N/m

The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.19 m.

(A) The force acting on the object is given by :

F = kx

F=157\times 0.19\\\\F=29.83\ N

(B) The force is simply given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration at that instant

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{29.83}{0.5}\\\\a=59.66\ m/s^2
