Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase

A hydrogen atom that has an electron in the n = 2 state absorbs a photon. What wavelength must the photon possess to send the el

Deffense [45]

Answer:

486nm

Explanation:

in order for an electron to transit from one level to another, the wavelength emitted is given by Rydberg Equation which states that

$\frac{1}{wavelength}=R.[\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2} } -\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2} }] \\n_{f}=2\\n_{i}=4\\R=Rydberg constant =1.097*10^{7}m^{-1}\\subtitiute \\\frac{1}{wavelength}=1.097*10^{7}[\frac{1}{2^{2} } -\frac{1}{4^{2}}]\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 1.097*10^{7}*0.1875\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 2.06*10^{6}\\wavelength=4.86*10{-7}m\\wavelength= 486nm\\$

Hence the photon must possess a wavelength of 486nm in order to send the electron to the n=4 state

A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.60m and the horizontal

AysviL [449]

Answer:

v = 46.99 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground, is given by the following formula:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$ (1)

vx: horizontal component of the velocity

vy: vertical component of the velocity

The vertical component vy is calculated by using the following formula:

$v_y^2=v_{oy}^2+2gh$ (2)

vy: final velocity

voy: initial vertilal velocity = 0m/s (because it is a semi parabolic motion)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

h: height = 1.60m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$v_y=2(9.8m/s^2)(1.60m)=31.36\frac{m}{s}$

vx is calculated by using the information about the horizontal range of the ball:

$R=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$ (3)

R: horizontal range of the ball = 20.0 m

You solve the previous equation for vo, the initial horizontal velocity:

$v_o=R\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}=(20.0m)\sqrt{\frac{9.8m/s^2}{2(1.60m)}}\\\\v_o=35\frac{m}{s}$

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory, hence, you have that

vx = vo = 35 m/s

Finally, you replace the values of vx and vy in the equation (1):

$v=\sqrt{(35m/s)^2+(31.36m/s)^2}=46.99\frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground is 46.99 m/s

A rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 22 meters per second from the top of a 25 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff o

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The rock will reach 9 m from the ground at eaxactly 5.06 s after it was initially thrown upwards.

Explanation:

We will use the equations of motion for this.

u = initial velocity of the rock = 22 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = vertical position of the rock at a time t = 9 m

y₀ = initial height of the rock = 25 m

t = time it takes for the rock to reach height of 9 m.

(y-y₀) = ut + 0.5gt²

(9 - 25) = 22t + 0.5(-9.8)t²

- 14 = 22t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 22t - 14 = 0

solving this quadratic equation,

t = 5.055 s or - 0.565 s

Since time cannot be negative,

t = 5.055 s = 5.06 s

Hope this Helps!!!

At a speed of 60 mph, how far does your car travel in 3 seconds

Viefleur [7K]

One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.

So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly

(3 x 88) = 264 feet.
