Calculate the work function that requires a 455 nm photon to eject an electron of a value 0.73 eV

Physics

Answer:

W = 2 eV

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of a photon = 455 nm

The kinetic energy of a photon, K = 0.73 eV

We need to find the work function of the electron. It can be solved using Einstein's equation such that,

W=E-K

E is the energy of the photon

So,

W=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}-K\\\\W=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{455\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}-0.73\\\\W= 2.73\ eV-0.73\ eV\\\\W=2\ eV

So, the work function of the metal is 2 eV.

If there are no windows, then the illumination in the room depends
only on the room and what's in it, not on anything outside. 
The time of day has no effect.  The other things all do.

When figure skating how do you quickly transition from backwards to forwards without falling or just going in a circle? I'm fair
olga2289 [7]
I am a competitive figure skater.  There are certain turns you can use such as a mowhawk, where you set one foot down that is facing the opposite direction from which you are gliding.  There is a two foot turn, where you either go on or toes and turn backwards, or lean somewhat on your heals and turn forwards.  Use your hips to help turn.  And a 3 turn, which is basically a 2 foot turn on 1 foot.  But remember, it takes practice, and you may fall a couple times.

To increase the amount of electricity produced in the U.S., we could place what on top of all Wal-Mart stores?
Alecsey [184]

That's a great idea !  A wind turbine (windmill) or solar panels
on the roof of every WalMart, but don't stop there.  Let K-Mart,
Target, Sears, Macy's, 7-11, McDonald's, and Subway in on it too. 

In fact, why not place them on the roof of every house and
apartment building too ?

Just one question:  Who's going to pay for them ?
_________________________________________________

The biggest single year-round residential use of energy in the
USA is to heat up and keep a ready supply of hot water.  So the
single biggest residential use of energy could be eliminated with
a simple solar water heater on the roof of every house.  From my
own personal observation, I know that Israel is there now, but here
in the USA, it's apparently not worth the time, effort, or expense ! ? !
