Answer from: NetherisIsTheQueen

Explanation:

Part A

- Work function ( ∅ ) is the minimum energy required by the photon to knock an electron out of the metal surface. That is the portion of energy of a photon transferred to an electron so that it can escape the metal.

- We can mathematically express it:

∅ = Ep - Ek

= $\frac{h*c}{lamba} - 0.5*m_e*v^2_e\\$

Where,

Planck's constant ( h ) = 6.6261*10^-34

Speed of light ( c ) = 3*10^8 m/s

mass of an electron ( m_e ) = 9.1094*10^-31 kg

Given:-

Incident light's wavelength ( λ ) = 250*10^-9 m

The maximum speed o electron ( v_e ) = 4*10^5 m/s

Solution:-

- Plug the values into the expression derived before:

∅ = $\frac{(6.6261*10^-^3^4)*(3*10^8)}{250*10^-^9} \\\\$

∅ = $7.22257*10^-^1^9 J * \frac{6.242*10^1^8 eV}{J}$

∅ = 4.508 eV ... Answer

Part B

- 2.5% of the energy emitted by a 100-W light bulb was visible light with wavelength ( λ ) = 500*10^-9 m. In 1.0 min the amount of energy harbored by a stream of photons are:

$E_p = n_p*\frac{h*c}{lambda} = P*t*e$

Where,

Planck's constant ( h ) = 6.6261*10^-34

Speed of light ( c ) = 3*10^8 m/s

Given:-

visible light's wavelength ( λ ) = 500*10^-9 m

Power of light bulb ( P ) = 100 W

Time taken ( t ) = 1.0 min = 60 s

Portion of energy as light ( e ) = 0.025

Solution:-

- Plug the values into the expression derived before:

$n_p = \frac{(lambda)*(P)*(t)*(e)}{h*c} \\\\n_p = \frac{(500*10^-^9)*(100)*(60)*(0.025)}{(6.6261*10^-^3^4)*(3*10^8)} \\$

n_p = 3.773 * 10^20 ... Answer

Part C

- A blood vessel of radius ( r ) with length ( L ) carries blood with viscosity ( μ ). The pressure drop ( ΔP ) in the blood vessel was witnessed.

- Pressure loss ( ΔP ) in a cylindrical blood vessel is given by the Darcy's equation given below:

$\frac{dP}{p} = f*\frac{L}{D}*\frac{v^2}{2}$

Where,

ρ: Density of blood

f: Friction factor

D: Diameter of vessel

v: Average velocity

- The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and relative roughness of blood vessel. We will assume the blood vessel to be smooth, round and the flow to be laminar ( later verified ).

- The flow rate ( Q ) in a smooth blood vessel subjected to laminar flow conditions is given by the Poiseuille's Law. The law states:

$Q = \frac{\pi*dP*r^4 }{8*u*L}$

- The velocity ( v ) in a circular tube is given by the following relation:

$v = \frac{Q}{\pi*r^2 }$

Given:-

dP ( Pressure loss ) = 2.5 Pa

radius of vessel ( r ) = 10μm = 10*10^-6 m

viscosity of blood ( μ ) = 0.0027 Pa.s

Length of vessel ( L ) = 1μm = 10^-6 m

Solution:-

- Use the Poiseuille's Law to determine the flow rate ( Q ) of the blood in the vessel:

$Q = \frac{\pi*(2.5)*(10*10^-^6)^4 }{8*(0.0027)*(10^-^6)}$

Q = 3.6361*10^-12 m^3 / s

- The corresponding velocity ( v ) of the blood flow would be:

$v = \frac{3.6361*10^-^1^2}{\pi*(10*10^-^6)^2 }$

v = 0.01157 m/s

- Use the Poiseuille's Law to determine the flow rate ( Q ) of the blood blood in the enlarged vessel ( r = 12 μm = 10*10^-6 m ) :

$Q = \frac{\pi*(2.5)*(12*10^-^6)^4 }{8*(0.0027)*(10^-^6)}$

Q = 7.54*10^-12 m^3 / s

- The corresponding velocity ( v ) of the blood flow would be:

$v = \frac{7.53982*10^-^1^2}{\pi*(12*10^-^6)^2 }$

v = 0.01666 m/s

Part D

- A radioactive isotope of Cobalt ( Co - 60 ) undegoes Beta decay ( 0.31 MeV ) and emits two gamma rays of energy ( 1.17 & 1.33 ) MeV.

- The radioactive decay for the ( Cobalt - 60 ) can be expressed in form of an equation:

_2_7Co ( 60 ) --- _2_8 Ni ( 60 ) + e^- + v_e^- + gamma

- The half life ( T_1/2 ) of the Co-60 can be used to determine the decay constant ( λ ):

λ = $lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{T_1/2}\\$

Where,

T_1/2 = 5.2 yrs = 1.68*10^8 s

Hence, the decay constant is

λ = $\frac{Ln ( 2 ) }{1.68*10^8}$ = 4.22*10^-9 s^-1

- The activity ( A ) of any radioactive isotope is function of time ( t ) defined by negative exponential distribution:

A = A_o*e^(^-^l^a^m^b^d^a^*^t^)

Where,

A_o: The initial activity ( Bq )

- The activity of the radioactive isotope Co-60 was A = 10 Ci after t = 30 months. The initial activity ( A_o ) can be determined:

$A_o= \frac{A}{e^(^-^l^a^m^b^d^a^*^t^)} \\\\A_o= \frac{(10Ci)*(3.7*10^1^0 Bq/Ci)}{e^(^-^4^.^2^2^*^1^0^-^9*^7^.^8^8^*^1^0^7^)} \\$

A_o = 5.016 * 10^11 Bq

- The initial number of nuclei in the sample ( N_o ) is given by:

$N_o = (A_o) / (lambda)\\\\N_o = \frac{5.016*10^1^1}{4.22*10^-^9} = 1.22*10^2^2$

- The initial mass of Co-60 used as a sample can be determined:

$m_o = M_r*N_o\\\\m_o = (59.933822u)*(1.66*10^-^2^7)*(1.22*10^2^2)\\$

m_o = 12.2 * 10^-6 kg ... Answer

- The total energy ( E ) released from the beta decay transformation:

E = E(β) + E(γ1) + E(γ2) = 0.31 + 1.17 + 1.33 = 2.81 MeV

- The rate at which the source emits energy after 30 months:

P = E*A = $( 2.81 MeV * \frac{1.6*10^-^1^3 J}{MeV} ) * ( 10 Ci * \frac{3.7*10^1^0 Bq}{Ci} )$

P = 0.166 W .. Answer
