Answer:

Based on the passage, the article's claim is not true. Therefore, the answer is:

No, because radio waves have energies that are too low to fall in the ionizing range.

Explanation:

Radio waves are generally known as forms of non-ionizing radiation. This means that they do not have enough energy, unlike microwaves, to separate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them. They cannot cause electron displacement, as claimed in the article. Therefore, they cannot break chemical bonds, which can cause chemical reactions or DNA damage. As non-ionizing radiation, radio waves occur at lower frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m, λ = 541.96 nm this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

c = λ / f

f = c /λ

we substitute

K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

h c / λ = Ф

λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light

The density of sodium is 968 g/cm3. Suppose you need 250 gm of sodium for an experiment. Which volume of sodium do you need?

Masja [62]

The formula for the density of a substance expressed in mass and volume is rho = mass/volume or p = m/v. Rearranging the formula to isolate volume gives the formula v = m/p. To solve for the problem given, this formula must be used. This gives a solution of:

v = m/p = 250 g/ 968 g/cm^3 = 0.258 cm^3 of sodium

What is the force on an electron in a CRT when it’s moving at 2.5 × 105 meters/second perpendicular to a magnetic field of 1.5 t

Firdavs [7]

F = Magnetic Force
B = Magnetic Field
V = Velocity

*The vectors from the photo you get doing the left-hand rule.

The magnetic force is always perpendicular to the magnetic field.

And as told in the statement, the electron is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field, that is, the Velocity forms an 90 degree angle / Right angle with the magnetic field.

The formula to find the Magnetic Force is:

$f = |q| \times v \times b \times sin \: \theta$

Where "q" is the Charge and the sin theta is the angle formed by the Velocity and Magnetic Field, in this case it's 90°. Sin 90° = 1.

$f = |- 1.6 \times {10}^{ - 19} | \times 2.5 \times {10}^{5} \times 1.5 \times 1 \\ f = 6 \times {10}^{ - 19 + 5} \\ f = 6 \times {10}^{ - 14} \: newtons$
Newton (N) = C x m/s x T = (C x m x T)/s
