When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin

dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) $1.21\times 10^{15}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

$E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda$

$E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV$

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

$E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}$ , here $\Phi _0$ is work function.

$\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}$ = 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

$\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm$

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz$

A car drives for 30 km with a speed of 30m/s. How much time does it take the car to travel this distance?

Artist 52 [7]

   Time = (distance) / (speed)

   = (30 km) / (30 m/s)

   = (30,000 m) / (30 m/s)

   = (30,000 / 30) sec

   =    1,000 seconds

   =    16 minutes 40 seconds

Multiple-Concept Example 6 reveiws the principles that play a role in this problem. A nuclear power reactor generates 2.3 x 109

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg

Explanation:

The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation

$E=\Delta mc^2\\\Delta m=\frac{E}{c^2}$ (1)

That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

$E=Pt=2.3*10^{9}\frac{J}{s}*1 year*\frac{365.25 day}{1 year}*\frac{24h}{1 day}*\frac{3600s}{1h}=7.25*10^{16}J$

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

$\Delta m=\frac{7.25*10^{16}J}{3*10^{8}\frac{m}{s}}=2.41*10^{8}kg$

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
