Answer:

0.46 eV

Explanation:

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons can be found using the formula

K.E = h(c)/λ - h(c)/λ(T), where

K.E = maximum kinetic energy needed

h(c) = Planck's constant, 6.626*10^-34

λ = Wavelength of the light, 250 nm

To start with, we convert our Planck's constant to nm and we have

h(c) = 1240 eV nm

Again, from the question, we already have h(c)/λ(T) given as 4.5 eV so all we need to do is substitute for it.

Plugging in all our values, we have

K.E = 1240/250 - 4.5

K.E = 4.96 - 4.5

K.E = 0.46 eV

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?
guapka [62]
A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state.  There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.
