Answer:

true

Explanation:

i think it's true because according to newtons first law of motion an object continues in motion unless compelled by an external force, this external force is known as the centripetal force.

I hope this helps

A light source of wavelength λ illuminates a metal with a work function (a.k.a., binding energy) of BE=2.00 eV and ejects electr

slega [8]

<h2>Answer: 1.011 eV</h2>

Explanation:

The described situation is the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

If we consider the light as a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a <u>kinetic energy. </u>

This is what Einstein proposed:

Light behaves like a stream of particles called photons with an energy $E$ :

$E=h.f$ (1)

So, the energy $E$ of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the Work function $\Phi$ of the metal and the kinetic energy $K$ of the photoelectron:

$E=\Phi+K$ (2)

Where $\Phi$ is the <u>minimum amount of energy required to induce the photoemission of electrons from the surface of a metal, and </u><u>its value depends on the metal. </u>

In this case $\Phi=2eV$ and $K_{1}=4eV$

So, for the first light source of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ , and applying equation (2) we have:

$E_{1}=2eV+4eV$ (3)

$E_{1}=6eV$ (4)

Now, substituting (1) in (4):

$h.f=6eV$ (5)

Where:

$h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s$ is the Planck constant

$f$ is the frequency

Now, the <u>frequency has an inverse relation with the wavelength </u>

$\lambda_{1}$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda_{1}}$ (6)

Where $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the speed of light in vacuum

Substituting (6) in (5):

$\frac{hc}{\lambda_{1}}=6eV$ (7)

Then finding $\lambda_{1}$ :

$\lambda_{1}=\frac{hc}{6eV }$ (8)

$\lambda_{1}=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15} eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{6eV}$

We obtain the wavelength of the first light suorce $\lambda_{1}$ :

$\lambda_{1}=2.06(10)^{-7}m$ (9)

Now, we are told the second light source $\lambda_{2}$ has the double the wavelength of the first:

$\lambda_{2}=2\lambda_{1}=(2)(2.06(10)^{-7}m)$ (10)

Then: $\lambda_{2}=4.12(10)^{-7}m$ (11)

Knowing this value we can find $E_{2}$ :

$E_{2}=\frac{hc}{\lambda_{2}}$ (12)

$E_{2}=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15} eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{4.12(10)^{-7}m}$ (12)

$E_{2}=3.011eV$ (13)

Knowing the value of $E_{2}$ and $\lambda_{2}$ , and knowing we are working with the same work function, we can finally find the maximum kinetic energy $K_{2}$ for this wavelength:
