Answer:
<h2><em>
12.45eV</em></h2>
Explanation:
Before calculating the work function, we must know the formula for calculating the kinetic energy of an electron. The kinetic energy of an electron is the taken as the difference between incident photon energy and work function of a metal.
Mathematically, KE = hf - Ф where;
h is the Planck constant
f is the frequency = c/λ
c is the speed of light
λ is the wavelength
Ф is the work function
The formula will become KE = hc/λ - Ф. Making the work function the subject of the formula we have;
Ф = hc/λ - KE
Ф = hc/λ - 1/2mv²
Given parameters
c = 3*10⁸m/s
λ = 97*10⁻⁹m
velocity of the electron v = 3.48*10⁵m/s
h = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴
m is the mass of the electron = 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹kg
Substituting the given parameters into the formula Ф = hc/λ - 1/2mv²
Ф = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴*3*10⁸/97*10⁻⁹ - 1/2*9.11*10⁻³¹(3.48*10⁵)²
Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 4.555*10⁻³¹*12.1104*10¹⁰
Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 55.163*10⁻²¹
Ф = 0.205*10⁻¹⁷ - 0.0055.163*10⁻¹⁷
Ф = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷Joules
Since 1eV = 1.60218*10⁻¹⁹J
x = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷Joules
cross multiply
x = 0.1995*10⁻¹⁷/1.60218*10⁻¹⁹
x = 0.1245*10²
x = 12.45eV
<em>Hence the work function of the metal in eV is 12.45eV</em>
Answer:
a) Beth will reach before Alan
b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive
Explanation:
let 'd' be distance b/w Los Angeles and San Francisco i.e 400 mi
considering ,
Alan's speed 
=50mph
Beth's speed 
=60mph
->For Alan:
The time required 
= d/= 400/50 => 8h
-> For beth:
The time required 
=> 6h 40m
Alan will reach at 8:00 a.m +8h = 4:00p.m.
Beth will reach at 9:00 a.m +6h 40m= 3:40p.m.
a) Beth will reach before Alan
b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The car traveled a total of 1,200 meters during this test.
We need to find the average speed of the car. The average speed of the car is given by total distance covered divided by the time taken. So,
But putting the value of t we can find the average speed of the car.
AAaaahh yes, T'was that a lovely chap by the name of Copernicus, has discovered us a little secret, well. why dont you share?
Copernicus: well uh, i'm a bit shy
ME: who a gives a flying *bleep* about your feelings man! just man up an discover the earth's rotation already!
