The charge on the sphere is monitored as a beam of monochromatic light shines on the sphere. Initially nothing happens. The wave

length of the light is slowly decreased. When the wavelength reaches a certain value, a positive charge is suddenly measured on the sphere. The wavelength is then held constant, and the charge continues to increase at a constant rate. The intensity of the beam is then increased without the wavelength being changed, and the rate of increase of the charge becomes greater.
In a coherent paragraph-length response, describe the cause of the charge on the sphere and the changes in the observations about the charge, in terms of physics principles.

Answer:

explanation of this effect  is  the photoelectric effect

Explanation:

Let's describe the process, when light of large wavelength falls, this implies a small energy, according to Planck's equation

           E = h f = \frac{h \ c}{ \lambda}

the energy of the photons is not enough to carry out an electronic transition between two states of the material, when we decrease the wavelength (the energy of the photons increases), the point is reached where the energy of the beam is equal to some energy of a transition, by which the electrons are promoted and since we can see a certain charge, as the atoms are neutral, some electrons must be removed from the material, this is represented in the macroscopic case as the work function of the material, consequently a unbalanced load that is what we can measure.

When we increase the lightning intensity, what we do is that we increase the number of photons and if each photon can remove an electron, by removing the electrons the difference between it and the positive charge (fixed in the nuclei) increases.

We can analyze the interaction of the photon and the electron as a particular collision.

The explanation of this effect was made by Einstein in his explained of the photoelectric effect

Reika [66]

Answer:

1. They should not trust this study. 2. Pseudoscience.

Explanation:

Because they drank the water and after 24 hours, they said that it was gone. Head aches go away sooner than that. Another reason is that some people could have lied about having a headache just so they could have the water or their headache could have gone away before they drank the water.

A cat’s crinkle ball toy of mass 15g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3m/s . Assume in this problem that air drag
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(a)0.0675  J

(b)0.0675 J

(c)0.0675 J

(d)0.0675 J

(e)-0.0675 J

(f)0.459 m

Explanation:

15g = 0.015 kg

(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} = \frac{0.015*3^2}{2} = 0.0675  J

(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J

(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.

(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J

(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J

(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:

mgh = 0.0675

0.015*9.81h = 0.0675

h = 0.459 m

The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m

Using the same cost and time estimates, consider any trade-offs that SciTech may have to make to complete the project.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:  

Oracio is the most cost-effective choice because he would cost the least to complete the project. However, he would also take the longest amount of time. Camilla could complete the job the fastest, but she costs more than Oracio. SciTech will have to decide if it is more important to save money or complete the work quickly to meet the deadline.  

Hope this helps :)
