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

You have two resistors with the same cross sectional area and resistivity. Resistor A has length L1 and resistor B has length L2
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Resistor A has length L_1

and Resistor B has Length L_2

and Resistance is given by

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Considering \rhoand A to be constant thus

R_2>R_1 because L_2>L_1

(a)When they are connected in series

As the current in series is same and power is i^2R

therefore P_2>P_1 as R is greater for second resistor

(b)if they are connected in Parallel

In Parallel connection Voltage is same

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

resistance of 2 is greater than 1 thus Power delivered by 1 is greater than 2

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo
Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s  first law, the net force on gymnast,

F_{net} =F-W=ma

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast (9\times g acceleration due to gravity)  

Therefore,

F= ma+W OR F=ma+mg=m(g+a)

Given m = 30 kg anda=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,  

F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )

F=3.537\times10^{3}N

Suppose you have a rock that, when it solidifies, contains 1 microgram of a radioactive isotope. How much of this isotope remain
algol13

Answer:

d) 1/32 microgram

Explanation:

First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.

Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.

Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.

Forth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.

Fifth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/32.

The initial mass of the sample = 1 microgram

After 5 half-lives, the mass should reduce to 1/32 of the original.

So the concentration left = 1/32 of 1 microgram = 1/32 microgram

2. If you want 0. 250 a (250 milliamps) to flow around a circuit with a resistance of 400 ohms, what voltage do you need?
grigory [225]

Answer:

0.000625 V

Explanation:

The formula linking current , resistance and voltage is :

V = I/R

Voltage = Current / Resistance

Now we substitute values given in question :

Voltage = 0.250 / 400

Voltage (V) = 0.000625

Our final answer is 0.000625 V

Hope this helped and have a good day
