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

As you stand by the side of the road, a car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 8
kap26 [50]

Answer: velocity of the car is 113.33m/s

Explanation:

From Doppler effect,

in the case which the source is moving towards the observer at rest

f2 = v/(v-vs) *f1

where f2 is the final observed frequency

f1 is the initial observed frequency

v = 340m/s (speed of sound in air)

vs = velocity of the source of sound.

rearranging the above equation

f2*(v - vs) = f1* v

vs = (f1* v/f2) - v

but f1 = 80Hz

f2 = 60Hz

v = 340m/s

substituting,

vs = (80 x 340)/60 - 340

vs = 453.33 - 340

vs = 113.33m/s

velocity of the car is 113.33m/s

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years
