A beam of light, with a wavelength of 4170 Å, is shined on sodium, which has a work function (binding energy) of 4.41 × 10 –19 J

Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, $\lambda=4170\ A=4170\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Work function of sodium, $W_o=4.41\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The kinetic energy of the ejected electron in terms of work function is given by :

$KE=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-W_o\\\\KE=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4170\times 10^{-10}}-4.41\times 10^{-19}\\\\KE=3.59\times 10^{-20}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.59\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=2.8\times 10^5\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

If a machine increases force it must apply the force over a long distance? True or false

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The machine must apply the force over a shorter distance. That's because a machine doesn't change the amount of work and work equals force times distance. Therefore, if force increases, distance must decrease

FALSE

What kind of scattering (Rayleigh, Mie, or non-selective) would you expect to be most important when radiation of the specified

oee [108]

Answer:

hello your question is not properly arranged attached below is the arranged table and solution

answer : attached table below

Explanation:

Given data:

02 molecules size = 10^-10m

smoke particles size = 0.3 mm

cloud droplets size = 20 mm

Rain droplets size = 3 mm

Attached below is a table showing the kind of scattering that is expected to occur at various wave lengths

Note : For Rayleigh scattering the wave particle is smaller than the wave length while for Non-selective scattering the wave particle is greater than the wavelength.

and For Mie scattering the wavelength is the same as the wavelength.
