What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is 3.70 eV

Physics
1 answer:
SSSSS [86.1K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

h f = Wf + K

where the total energy available is h f, Wf is the work function or the work needed to remove the electron and K is the kinetic energy of the removed electron

If K = zero then hf = Wf

Wf = h f = h c / λ    or

λ = h c / Wf = 6.63E-34 * 3.0E8 / (3.7 * 1.6E-19)

λ = 6.63 * 3 / (3.7 * 1.6) E-7 = 3.36E-7

This would be 3360 angstroms or 336 millimicrons

Visible light = 400-700 millimicrons

A sphere of radius 5.15 cm and uniform surface charge density +12.1 µC/m2 exerts an electrostatic force of magnitude 35.9 ✕ 10-3
rosijanka [135]
The radius of the sphere is r=5.15 cm=0.0515 m, and its surface is given by
A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.0515 m)^2 = 0.033 m^2

So the total charge on the surface of the sphere is, using the charge density 
\rho=+1.21  \mu C/m^2 = +1.21 \cdot 10^{-6} C/m^2:
Q= \rho A = (+1.21 \cdot 10^{-6} C/m^2)(0.033 m^2)=4.03 \cdot 10^{-8}C

The electrostatic force between the sphere and the point charge is:
F=k_e  \frac{Qq}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge on the sphere
q=+1.75 \muC = +1.75 \cdot 10^{-6}C is the point charge
r is their separation

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the separation between the sphere and the point charge:
r=\sqrt{ \frac{k_e Q q}{F} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})(4.03 \cdot 10^{-8} C)(1.75 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{35.9 \cdot 10^{-3}N} }=0.133 m=13.3 cm

When resistance is decreased in a circuit, current will _________.
Mars2501 [29]
The answer is A. Increase

The formula is <span>Voltage = Resistance X Current

Lets say the voltage is 10 and the resistence is 5

10 = 5 x current
Current = 2

Now, lets decrease the resistence from 5 to 2

10 = 2 x Current
Current = 5

The current increases
