 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>hf = work function + KE 
However if you are looking at the max wavelength (or threshold frequency) then there will only be just enough energy for the photoelectrons to be liberated, hence their KE will be 0. 
So hf = work function 
convert eV to joules, 2.4 x (1.6 x 10^-19) = 3.84 x 10^-19 
therefore, hf = 3.84 x 10^-19 
f = 3.84 x 10^-19 / planck's constant which is 6.63 x 10^-34 
f = 5.79 x 10^14 Hz 
c = frequency x wavelength, 
wavelength = speed of light/frequency 
= (3x10^8)/(5.79x10^14) 
=5.18 x 10^-7 metres</span>

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If E₀ is the electric field outside the smaller sphere and r is the radius of larger sphere.

E₀ = kQ/r²

The radius of the larger sphere is 3r and the charge on both sphere is same then the electric field outside the larger sphere is given as

E = kQ/(3r)² = kQ/9r² = 1/9 (kQ/r²)= 1/9 x E₀

hence the correct option is e.
