Answer:

(a) The work function is 1.86 eV.

(b) The cut off frequency is 450 THz.

(c) The stopping potential is 1.16 V.

Explanation:

incident wavelength = 620 nm

Kinetic energy, K = 0.14 eV

According to the photoelectric equation

E = W + KE

where, W is the work function, KE is the kinetic energy.

(a) Let the work function is W.

W = E - KE\\W = \frac{h c}{\lambda }- KE\\W =\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times3\times 10^{8}}{620\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}-0.14\\\\W =1.86 eV

(b) Let the cut off frequency is f.

W = h f

1.86\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} = 6.63\times 10^{-34}\times f\\f = 4.5\times 10^{14} Hz =450 THz

(c) Let the stopping potential is V.

E = W + eV\\\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{420\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}=1.8 + eV\\\\V = 1.16 V

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

V = \pi r^{2}h

put r = h/2 so,

V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
