kinetic energy? Will the photoelectric effect be observed if sodium is exposed to orange light?

Answer:

5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

no orange light has less frequency so no photoelectric effect

Explanation:

hf = hf0 + K.E

HERE h is Planck 's constant having value 6.63 × 10 ^-34 J s

f is frequency of incident photon and f0 is threshold frequency

hf0 = hf- k.E

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 6.63 × 10 ^-34× 6.66 × 10^14 - 7.74× 10^-20

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 3.64158×10^-19

f0 = 3.64158×10^-19/ 6.63 × 10 ^-34

f0 = 5.4925 × 10^14

f0 =5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

frequency of orange light is 4.82 × 10^14 Hz which is less than threshold frequency hence photo electric effect will not be observed for orange light

A 7.25-kg bowling ball is being swung horizontally in a clockwise direction (as viewed from above) at a constant speed in a circ

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$a_c=9.66\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here v is the linear speed and r is the radius of the circular motion. v is defined as the distance traveled to make one revolution ( $2\pi r$ ) divided into the time takes to make one revolution, that is, the period (T).

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1) and replacing the given values:

$a_c=\frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}\\a_c=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2}\\a_c=\frac{4\pi^2 (1.85m)}{(2.75s)^2}\\a_c=9.66\frac{m}{s^2}$

An ambulance moving at 42 m/s sounds its siren whose frequency is 450 hz. a car is moving in the same direction as the ambulance

Korvikt [17]

(a) Since the ambulance and the car are moving one relative to each other, we have to use the general formula of the Doppler effect, which gives us the shift of the frequency of the siren as heard by an observer in the car:
$f'=( \frac{v+v_o}{v+v_s} )f$
where
f' is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in the car
v is the velocity of the wave
$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if it is moving towards the source, negative if it is moving away)
$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the observer, negative if is is moving towards it)
f is the real frequency of the sound

In the first part of the problem:
$v=343 m/s$ (speed of the sound wave)
$v_o =-25 m/s$ (the car is moving away from the ambulance)
$v_s = -42 m/s$ (the ambulance is moving towards the car)
$f=450 Hz$ (original frequency of the sound)

If we plug the numbers into the formula, we find
$f'=( \frac{343 m/s-25 m/s}{343 m/s-42 m/s} )(450 Hz)=475 Hz$

b) This time, the ambulance passes the car, so the ambulance is now moving away from the car; this means that $v_s$ must be positive:
$v_s=+42 m/s$
Moreover, the car is now moving towards the ambulance, so we should reverse also the sign of $v_o$ :
$v_o=+25 m/s$
All the other data do not change, so if we use the same formula as before, we find
$f'=( \frac{343 m/s+25 m/s}{343 m/s+42 m/s} )(450 Hz)=430 Hz$

An electron moving at right angles to a 0.1 T magnetic field experiences an acceleration of 6 × 1015 m.s-2. What is the speed of

GaryK [48]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

Acceleration, $a=6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

(a) The force acting on the electron when it is accelerated is, F = ma

The force acting on the electron when it is in magnetic field, $F=qvB\ sin\theta$

Here, $\theta=90$

So, $ma=qvB$

Where

v is the velocity of the electron

B is the magnetic field

$v=\dfrac{ma}{qB}$

$v=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.1\ T}$

v = 341250 m/s

or

$v=3.41\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the speed of the electron is $3.41\times 10^5\ m/s$

(b) In 1 ns, the speed of the electron remains the same as the force is perpendicular to the cross product of velocity and the magnetic field.

A charge q = 3 × 10-6 C of mass m = 2 × 10-6 kg, and speed v = 5 × 106 m/s enters a uniform magnetic field. The mass experiences

NeX [460]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.004 mT

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=3\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Mass of charge particle, $m=2\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Speed, $v=5\times 10^{6}\ m/s$

Acceleration, $a=3\times 10^{4}\ m/s^2$

We need to find the minimum magnetic field that would produce such an acceleration. So,

$ma=qvB\ sin\theta$

For minimum magnetic field,

$ma=qvB$

$B=\dfrac{ma}{qv}$

$B=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 3\times 10^{4}\ m/s^2}{3\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 5\times 10^{6}\ m/s}$

B = 0.004 T

or

B = 4 mT

So, the magnetic field produce such an acceleration at 4 mT. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you're ever standing on a mountaintop when a dark cloud passes overhead and your hair stands up, get off the mountain fast. H

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The hairs would have acquired charge by the passing of dry winds resulting in the loss of electron.

Explanation:

While standing on the top of a mountain if a person gets its hairs stand up after a cloud passes over, this might happen due to the static electric charges on the lower surface of the cloud are opposite in nature to that of hairs which the hairs would have acquired by the passing of dry winds which would have resulted in the loss of electron from the hair tip.

Similar case happens when we rub a dry plastic ruler or a dry plastic comb on our hairs.
