Light of wavelength 310 nm strikes a metal whose work function is 2.3 ev. (a) what is the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electrons? (b) what is the de broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced?

a.1.71 eV

b.0.939 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of light =310 nm= m

Work function=2.3 eV

Mass of electron=Kg

a.We have to find the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electron

K.E=1.71 eV

Hence, the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electron=1.71  eV

b.Kinetic energy =

p=

p=m-s

We know that de brogile wavelength

Hence, the de-brogile  wavelength of ejected electron=0.939 nm.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
