In photo-emission, the number of photo-electrons ejected per second depends on the?

A.

frequency of the beam

B.

work function of the metal

Calculate the energy of the third level of an atom if the ground state energy is - 24.8eV

A.

-9.20eV

B.

-8.20eV

C.

-2.75eV

D.

-1.75eV

Correct answer is C

\(E_3 = \frac{E}{n^2}\)

\(E_3 = \frac{-24.8}{3^2}\)

\(E_3 = 2.75eV\)

If a current of 2.5A flows through an electrolyte for 3 hours and 1.8g of a substance is deposited, what is the mass of the substance that will be deposited if a current of 4A flows through it for 4.8 hours?

A.

2.4g

B.

3.2g

C.

4.6g

D.

4.8g

Correct answer is C

First let's find z

z = \(\frac{M}{It}\)

z = \(\frac{1.8}{2.5 \times (3 \times 60 \times 60)}\)

Therefore, the new M equals

M = zIt

M = \(\frac{1.8 \times 4 \times 4.8 \times 60 \times 60}{2.5 \times 3 \times 60 \times 60}\)

M = 4.6g
