When ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 4.00nm falls on a certain metal surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is measured to be 1.10eV. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons when light of wavelength 300.0nm falls on the same surface?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons when light of wavelength 300.0nm falls on the surface is 2.14eV.

Step by step solution

01

Formula for maximum kinetic energy and relation between f,c and λ

K122maxmax (1)

Where h=4.136*10-15eVs(Planck’s constant)

f=cλ

02

Calculate the work function

First calculate the work function atKmaxandλ=400nm

So, for that calculate the f,

f=cλ

Here,

⇒λ=400109=4*10-7m

So,

f=3*108m/s4*10-7m=7.5*1014Hz

Substitute the values in equation (1),

1.10eV=(4.136*10-15eVs)(7.5*1014s-1)-ϕ⇒ϕ=2.00eV

03

Calculate the maximum kinetic energy

Forλ=300nm,

λ=3*10-7m

So,

f2=3*108m/s3*10-7m)=1*1015Hz

Therefore,

K-15152max

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons when light of wavelength falls on the surface is 2.14eV.

Malignant tumors are commonly treated with targeted ray radiation therapy. To generate these medical rays, a linear accelerator directs a high energy beam of electrons toward a metal target-typically tungsten. As they near the tungsten nuclei, the electrons are deflected and accelerated, emitting high-energy photons via bremsstrahlung. The resulting rays are collimated into a beam that is directed at the tumor. The photons can deposit energy in the tumor through Compton and photoelectric interactions. A typical tumor has 108cells/cm3,and in a full treatment, 4-MeV photons may produce a dose of 70 Gy in 35 fractional exposures on different days. The gray (Gy) is a measure of the absorbed energy dose of radiation per unit mass of tissue:1Gy =1 J/kg.

While interacting with molecules (mainly water) in the tumor tissue, each Compton electron or photoelectron causes a series of ionizations, each of which takes about . Estimate the maximum number of ionizations that one photon generated by this linear accelerator can produce in tissue.(a)100;(b)1000;(c)104;(d)105

Two atomic clocks are carefully synchronized. One remains in New York, and the other is loaded on an airliner that travels at an average speed of and then returns to New York. When the plane returns, the elapsed time on the clock that stayed behind is . By how much will the readings of the two clocks differ, and which clock will show the shorter elapsed time? (Hint: Since u<<c , you can simplify1-u2/c2 by a binomial expansion.)

A pulsed dye laser emits light of wavelength 585 nm in 450@ms pulses. Because this wavelength is strongly absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood, the method is especially effective for removing various types of blemishes due to blood, such as port-wine–colored birthmarks. To get a reasonable estimate of the power required for such laser surgery, we can model the blood as having the same specific heat and heat of vaporization as water 14190 J > kg . K, 2.256 * 106 J > kg2. Suppose that each pulse must remove 2.0 mg of blood by evaporating it, starting at 33_C.

(a) How much energy must each pulse deliver to the blemish?

(b) What must be the power output of this laser?

(c) How many photons does each pulse deliver to the blemish?

Space pilot Mavis zips past Stanley at a constant speed relative to him of 0.800c. Mavis and Stanley start timers at zero when the front of Mavis’s ship is directly above Stanley. When Mavis reads 5.00 s on her timer, she turns on a bright light under the front of her spaceship. (a) Use the Lorentz coordinate transformation derived in Example 37.6 to calculate x and t as measured by Stanley for the event of turning on the light. (b) Use the time dilation formula, Eq. (37.6), to calculate the time interval between the two events (the front of the spaceship passing overhead and turning on the light) as measured by Stanley. Compare to the value off you calculated in part (a). (c) Multiply the time interval by Mavis’s speed, both as measured by Stanley, to calculate the distance she has traveled as measured by him when the light turns on. Compare to the value of x you calculated in part (a).

An enemy spaceship is moving toward your star fighter with a speed, as measured in your frame, of 0.400c. The enemy ship fires a missile toward you at a speed of 0.700crelative to the enemy ship (Fig. E37.18). If you measure that the enemy ship is 8×106kmkm away from you when the missile is fired, how much time, measured in your frame, will it take the missile to reach you?
