Violet light of wavelength 400 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.860 eV from sodium metal. What is the bind
Travka [436]

Answer:

Binding Energy = 2.24 eV

Explanation:

First, we need to find the energy of the photon of light:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 4 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (4.97 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

E = 3.1 eV

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

E = Binding Energy + Kinetic Energy

Binding Energy = E - Kinetic Energy

Binding Energy = 3.1 eV - 0.86 eV

<u>Binding Energy = 2.24 eV</u>

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.
