Answer to Problem 11P

The work function in Joules is 1.02×1018J .

Explanation of Solution

The work function in joules is,

ϕJ=ϕeV(1.60×1019J1eV)

    • ϕJ is the work function in joules
    • ϕeV is the work function in electron volt

Substitute 6.35eV for ϕeV .

ϕJ=(6.35eV)(1.60×1019J1eV)=1.02×1018J

Conclusion:

Thus, the work function in Joules is 1.02×1018J .

(b)

Answer to Problem 11P

The cutoff frequency for platinum is 1.53×1015Hz .

Explanation of Solution

The energy of the photon is,

Ephoton=hfc

    • h is the Plank’s constant
    • fc is the cutoff frequency

The cutoff frequency is,

fc=ϕh

Substitute 6.35eV for ϕ and 6.63×1034J.s for h .

fc=6.35eV6.63×1034J.s(1eV1.60×1019J)=1.53×1015Hz

Conclusion:

Thus, the cutoff frequency for platinum is 1.53×1015Hz .

(c)

To determine

Answer to Problem 11P

The maximum wavelength of the light incident on the platinum surface is 196nm .

Explanation of Solution

The equation for cutoff wavelength is,

λc=hcϕ=cfc

Substitute 3.00×108m/s for c and 1.53×1015Hz for fc .

λc=3.00×108m/s1.53×1015Hz=1.96×107m=196nm

Conclusion:

Thus, the maximum wavelength of the light incident on the platinum surface is 196nm .

Answer to Problem 11P

The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is 2.15eV .

Explanation of Solution

The equation for maximum kinetic energy is,

KEmax=Ephotonϕ

    • Ephoton is the energy of the photon

Substitute 8.50eV for Ephoton and 6.35eV for ϕ .

KEmax=8.50eV6.35eV=2.15eV

Conclusion:

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is 2.15eV .

Answer to Problem 11P

The stopping potential required to arrest the current of photoelectrons is 2.15V .

Explanation of Solution

We have the relation,

eVs=KEmaxVs=KEmaxe

Substitute 2.15eV for KEmax and 1.60×1019C .

Vs=2.15eV1.60×1019C=2.15V

Conclusion:

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is 2.15eV

Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is. Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. I know you have to find the equations for V for both situations and relate them, I'm just struggling to do so. Please explain all steps, thank you.
Bheem and Ram, jump off either side of a bridge while holding opposite ends of a rope and swing back and forth under the bridge to save a child while avoiding a fire. Looking at the swing of just Bheem, we can approximate him as a simple pendulum with a period of motion of 5.59 s. How long is the pendulum ? When Bheem swings, he goes a full distance, from side to side, of 10.2 m.  What is his maximum velocity?  What is his maximum acceleration?
