‏Explain how an electron emitted by the photoelectric effect can have kinetic energy less than threshold energy ?

Physics

xenn [34]3 years ago

Answer:

the photons (quanta of light) collide with the electrons, these electrons have to overcome the threshold energy that is the energy of union with the metal, and the energy that remains is converted to kinetic energy.

          K = E - Ф

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from the surface of a metal.

This was correctly explained by Einstein, in his explanation the energy of the photons (quanta of light) collide with the electrons, these electrons have to overcome the threshold energy that is the energy of union with the metal, and the energy that remains is converted to kinetic energy.

          E = hf

          E = K + Ф

          K = E - Ф

The energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation E = hf and according to Einstein the number of joints must be added

            E = n hf

Therefore, depending on the value of this energy, the emitted electrons can have energy from zero onwards.

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

what is the major cause of the earth’s magnetic field? the earth’s liquid outer core the earth’s liquid outer core the earth’s m
GaryK [48]

The earth's liquid outer core is the major cause of the earth’s magnetic field.

<h3>What is magnetic field?</h3>

The magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, a vector field. A force acting on a charge while it travels through a magnetic field is perpendicular to both the charge's motion and the magnetic field. The magnetic field of a permanent magnet attracts or repels other magnets as well as ferromagnetic elements like iron. A magnetic field that varies with location will also exert a force on a variety of non-magnetic materials by changing the velocity of those particles' outer electrons. Electric currents, like those utilised in electromagnets, and electric fields that change over time produce magnetic fields that surround magnetised things.

Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies?
Arada [10]

Answer:

b. a large elliptical galaxy

Explanation:

In elliptical galaxies the stars are grouped in an elliptical shape, it has a low quantity of gas and dust in comparison to spiral galaxies, and its stars belong to an old population, there is not new stellar formation in it.

The stars orbit in a messy way which made to believe that they form from the merger of galaxies.

They are also really massive (around 10^{4} solar masses).

The most massive and luminous can be found in the center of cluster of galaxies.
