The light intensity incident on a metallic surface with a work function of 3 eV produces photoelectrons with a maximum kinetic e

nergy of 2 eV. The frequency of the light is doubled. Determine the maximum kinetic energy (in eV).

Answer:

7ev

Explanation:

The Energy of an incident light is given as E = hf;

Where h is Planks constant

f is frequency

Also.

E = Eo + K.E

Where Eo is work function and K.E is kinetic energy.

Hence substituting the given values,

E = 3ev + 2ev = 5ev

The frequency of the incident wave if it's doubled the Energy would be doubled since E is proportional to f with other elements been constant.

Hence :E = 10ev

But K.E = E -Eo

= 10ev - 3ev = 7ev

Maximum Kinetic Energy is 7ev.

If a projectile fired beneath the water, straight up, breaks through the surface at a speed of 13m/s, to what height above the w
OlgaM077 [116]
Well if you had either the velocity or distance traveled i could tell you. But since you haven't all i can say for sure is that the water slowed the bullet down to 13m/s so lets say you knew the distance you would calculate how many meters it traveled and you would have your answer because in this situation, meters (height) =how many seconds spent going into the air.

What do electrons in the same shell have in common? AThey have the same amount of energy incorrect answer BThey are all positive
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

They have the same amount of energy

Explanation:

Electrons are said to be the subatomic particles that move around the nucleus of an atom. These electrons are negatively charged particles that are seen to be quite smaller than the nucleus of an atom.  

The electron shells of these atoms are usually being filled from the inside out with the low-energy shells closer to the nucleus being filled before they can go into the much higher-energy shells that are a bit out

An astronaut takes an object to the moon where there is less gravity. Explain how the mass and weight of the object on the moon
alexandr1967 [171]
The mass of the object will remain the same rather it's on the moon or on the Earth and even in other places. But the weight will change on the moon, so its weight will be different from the one it had on Earth

When a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field, what happens to the electrical potential energy associated
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

B it decreases

Explanation:

the movement of a positive test charge in the direction of an electric field would be like a mass falling downward within Earth's gravitational field. Both movements would be like going with nature and would occur without the need of work by an external force. This motion would result in the loss of potential energy
