Answer:

(d) 2840 A

Explanation:

Threshold frequency can be be calculated using expresion below

(λ)= hc/ Φ

(λ) sodium/ (λ)tungsten = Φtungsten/ Φsodium

But (λ) sodium is given as 5460 A,

Φsodium = 2.3 eV

Φtungsten= 4.4 eV

If we substitute the values we can find

(λ)tungsten.

(λ)tungsten= [(λ) sodium × Φsodium]/ Φtungsten

=( 5460× 2.3)/4.4

= 2854A

Hence, threshold wavelength of tungsten is 2854A

The pressure in a traveling sound wave is given by the equation ΔP = (1.78 Pa) sin [ (0.888 m-1)x - (500 s-1)t] Find (a) the pre

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $P_m=1.78\ Pa$

b) $f=79.5775\ Hz$

c) $\lambda=7.076\ m$

d) $v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

<u>Given equation of pressure variation:</u>

$\Delta P= (1.78\ Pa)\ sin\ [(0.888\ m^{-1})x-(500\ s^{-1})t]$

We have the standard equation of periodic oscillations:

$\Delta P=P_m\ sin\ (kx-\omega.t)$

<em>By comparing, we deduce:</em>

(a)

amplitude:

$P_m=1.78\ Pa$

(b)

angular frequency:

$\omega=2\pi.f$

$2\pi.f=500$

∴Frequency of oscillations:

$f=\frac{500}{2\pi}$

$f=79.5775\ Hz$

(c)

wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{0.888}$

$\lambda=7.076\ m$

(d)

Speed of the wave is gives by:

$v=\frac{\omega}{k}$

$v=\frac{500}{0.888}$

$v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}$

Hello everyone Lubricants are used in machines.Why?Hope u will answer it good day.Thank You✌️

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Lubrication is used to reduce friction. It is generally used for moving machine parts. The lubricants are the substances which are used to reduce the friction which acts between two surfaces in contact, between which relative motion can occur.
