First of all the equation you need is this one
<span>E=<span>Ek</span>+ϕ</span> <span><span>Ek</span>=e<span>V0
</span></span>Please remember that the energy of a photon of wavelength lambda is given by <span>E=<span><span>hc</span>λ

</span></span>you can then calculate the maximum kinetic energy since you know the work function of the metal (1.8eV), and the wavelength of the photons (400 nm) (remembering to convert to SI units of joules for the work function). You can then find the maximum velocity of the electrons easy enough.You can obtain the stopping potential usign the next formula
Ek=eV0
<span>Because it is a stopping voltage, V_{0}  and remember it will have the units of volts.
</span>I think with that I can help you a lot.

The least count of stopwatch is 0.2s.The time of 20 oscillations of a pendulum was measured to be 25s.Find the percentage error
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

0.8%

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of oscillations; n = 20

Time taken; t = 25 s

Formula for period of oscillation;

T = t/n = 25/20 = 1.25 s

We are told that the least count is 0.2 s. Thus, error is; ΔT = 0.2 s

percentage error in the measurement of time is given by;

(0.2/(20 × 1.25)) × 100% = 0.8%

The temperature dependence of classical expression for electrical resistivity is​
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The resistivity of materials depends on the temperature as ρt = ρ0 [1 + α (T – T0). This is the equation that shows the relationship between the resistivity and the temperature.

A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. the shortest observed wavelength
daser333 [38]
The wavelength emitted is indirectly proportional to the difference in the change in the energy level. For the wavelength 278 nm the change in energy level is significantly high. Further change in energy level is indicated by 454nm light but the difference in energy level for this wavelength to be emitted  is not greater than the previous one. There is a possibility that these subsystems have now very low energy which should result in wavelengths ranging from 700 to 900 nm. There is another possibility that there is some metastable subsystems in the system which may cause LASER emission.
