The work function of a metal is 2.56 x 10-19J. Calculate the frequency of a photon whose energy is required to eject from the metal an electron with kinetic energy of 3.0ev. [1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19J, h = 6.6 x 10-34Js]

A.

5.56 x 1019Hz

B.

1.66 x 1019Hz

C.

1.12 x 1015Hz

D.

8.42 x 1014Hz

Correct answer is C

F = \(\frac{K.E + Wo}{h}\)

= \(\frac{3.0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} + 2.56 \times 106{-19}}{6.6 \times 106{-34}}\)

- 1.12 x 10-15HZ

A coil of inductance 0.12 H and resistance 4\(\Omega\), is connected across a 240V, 50Hz supply. Calculate the current through it. [\(\pi\) = 3.142]

A.

6.3A

B.

33.3A

C.

37.2A

D.

40.0A

Correct answer is A

XL = \(2\pi f L\)

= = 2 x 3.142 x 50 x 0.12

= 37.68\(\Omega\)

Z = \(\sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 37.68^2}\)

I = \(\frac{V}{z} = \frac{240}{37.89}\)

= 6.3A
