What is the threshold frequency for sodium metal if a photon with frequency 6.66 × 1014 s−1 ejects a photon with 7.74 × 10−20 J

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

Which best describes nuclear fusion?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The statement that best describes nuclear fusion is;

Nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion, we have the reaction of the nuclei of two or more atoms coming together (combining) to form heavier elements and subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons accompanied by the release or absorption in energy depending on the difference between the mass of the reactants and the products

Some nuclear fusion reaction require an input of energy and such reactions are therefore not spontaneous

The best option is nuclei (two or more nuclei) combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

Ferdinand the frog is hopping from lily pad to lily pad in search of a good fly

loris [4]

Answer: $36.86\°$

Explanation:

According to the described situation we have the following data:

Horizontal distance between lily pads: $d=2.4 m$

Ferdinand's initial velocity: $V_{o}=5 m/s$

Time it takes a jump: $t=0.6 s$

We need to find the angle $\theta$ at which Ferdinand jumps.

In order to do this, we first have to find the <u>horizontal component (or x-component)</u> of this initial velocity. Since we are dealing with parabolic movement, where velocity has x-component and y-component, and in this case we will choose the x-component to find the angle:

$V_{x}=\frac{d}{t}$ (1)

$V_{x}=\frac{2.4 m}{0.6 s}$ (2)

$V_{x}=4 m/s$ (3)

On the other hand, the x-component of the velocity is expressed as:

$V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta$ (4)

Substituting (3) in (4):

$4 m/s=5 m/s cos\theta$ (5)

Clearing $\theta$ :

$\theta=cos^{-1} (\frac{4 m/s}{5 m/s})$

$\theta=36.86\°$ This is the angle at which Ferdinand the frog jumps between lily pads

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9380 km from Mars's center, while Deimos orbits at 23

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ratio is $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 3.965$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of Phobos orbit is R_2 = 9380 km

The radius of Deimos orbit is $R_1 = 23500 \ km$

Generally from Kepler's third law

$T^2 = \frac{ 4 * \pi^2 * R^3}{G * M }$

Here M is the mass of Mars which is constant

G is the gravitational constant

So we see that $\frac{ 4 * \pi^2 }{G * M } = constant$

$T^2 = R^3 * constant$

=> $[\frac{T_1}{T_2} ]^2 = [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^3$

Here $T_1$ is the period of Deimos

and $T_1$ is the period of Phobos

So

$[\frac{T_1}{T_2} ] = [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}$

=> $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = [\frac{23500 }{9380} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}]$

=> $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 3.965$
