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 speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

Can someone help me?

Car X traveled 3d distance in t time. Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t, the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.

In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.

$V_x .t' = 3d\\ \frac{3d}{t} .t' = 3d\\ t'=t$

Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.

$V_y.t = \frac{2d}{t} .t = 2d$

We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.
