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

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km    Average velocity: 1.274\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

  • 0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as  direction towards the negative side of X-axis.
  • 0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
  • 3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y  axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑Sx = Ax -0.916 ⇒  ∑Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916

∑Sx = 1.361 km

∑Sy = Ay - 0.918 ⇒ ∑Sy = 3.52sin(49.7) - 0.918

∑Sy = 1.767

The total displacement is calculated using Pythagoeran therorem:

S_{total} =\sqrt{Sx^{2}+ Sy^{2} } ⇒

S_{total} = 2.230 km

With displacement calculated, we can find the average speed as follows:

V = S/t  ⇒  V = \frac{2.230}{1.750}

V = 1.274\frac{km}{h}
