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

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.

Write a list of at least five scientific methods.
kolbaska11 [484]
1- You should always have a question for your experiment.
2- You need to conduct background research. It helps to write down your sources so you can cite your references. 
3- Propose a hypothesis (educated guess on what you believe the outcome of the experiment will be)
4- Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis (include independent and dependent variable)
5- Record observations and analyze what the data means.
6- Conclude whether you need to accept or reject your hypothesis, which accepting means your hypothesis was right and rejected is if it was wrong.

Conceptual question about relativity: Imagine two events--
steposvetlana [31]
They are not the same event in that they occur in different places and times in most frames of reference. In the photon's frame they are not separated in either space nor time because photons don't experience time and at least mathematically all points on the spacetime manifold are the same point to a photon.  What the zero spacetime interval can tell us though, is that the events are connected by a light beam (light-like separation). There is as much time between the events as there is space and one event can conceptually cause the other. They are on the cusp between time-like and space-like  events.
