An orbiting satellite can become charged by the photoelectric effect when sunlight ejects electrons from its outer surface. Sate

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Points A (-5,6), B (2,-2), and C (-6,-3) are placed in three different quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. Convert each

AURORKA [14]

Answer: A ( $\sqrt{61}$ ,309.8°)

B (2 $\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

C ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

Explanation: To transform rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates use:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ and $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})$

For point A:

$r=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+6^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{61}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{-5})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.2)$

$\theta=-50.2$ °

Point A is in the II quadrant, so we substract the angle for 360° since it is in degrees:

$\theta=360-50.2$

$\theta=$ 309.8°

Polar coordinates for point A is ( $\sqrt{61}$ , 309.8°)

For point B:

$r=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{8}$

$r=2\sqrt{2}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=-45$ °

Point B is in IV quadrant, so:

$\theta=360-45$

$\theta=$ 315°

Polar coordinates for point B is ( $2\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

For point C:

$r=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{45}$

$r=3\sqrt{5}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-6} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(0.5)$

$\theta=$ 26.56°

Polar coordinates for point C is ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)
