g Radiation of an unknown wavelength is used in a photoelectric effect experiment on a sodium surface. The maximum kinetic energy of the observed electrons is 0.7 eV. What is the wavelength of the light

λ = 4.1638 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Einstein assuming that the radiation acts like particles and the equation that describes the process is

           K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons, hf  the energy of the photons according to Planck's equation and Ф the work function of the material

In this case they give us the kinetic energy of the electrons

         K = 0.7 eV

The sodium work function is tabulated Ф = 2.28 eV

Let's find the frequency of the photons

            f = (K + Ф) / h

Planck's constant is

          h = 6.626 10⁻³⁴ J s (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J) = 4.136 10⁻¹⁵ eV s

            f = (0.7 + 2.28) / 4.136 10⁻¹⁵

            f = 7.2050 10¹⁴ Hz

let's find the wavelength using the relationship between speed and frequency and wavelength

            c = λ f

            λ = c / f

            λ = 3 10⁸ / 7.205 10¹⁴

            λ = 4.1638 10⁻⁷ m

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
