A body whose initial velocity is u is uniformly accelerated to a final velocity v in t seconds. If the distance travelled is s, and the acceleration is a, which equation is INCORRECT for the motion of the body?

A.

s = ut+\(\frac{1}{2}\)at2

B.

v2 = u2 + 2as

C.

v =u + at

D.

v = u + 2as

A metal has a work function of 3.0 eV. What is the threshold frequency of the metal when electrons are just liberated from the metal.(1 eV = 1.6 × 10-19J; h = 6.6 × 10-34Js)

A.

4.8 × 10-19Hz

B.

9.3 × 10-7Hz

C.

4.8 × 1014Hz

D.

7.3 × 1014Hz

E.

9.3 × 1014Hz

Correct answer is D

The work function (\(\phi\)) of a metal is defined as:

\(\phi = hf_0\)

\(f_0 = \frac{\phi}{h}\)

\(\phi = 3.0 eV = 3.0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\)

= \(4.8 \times 10^{-19} J\)

\(f_0 = \frac{4.8 \times 10^{-19}}{6.6 \times 10^{34}}\)

= \(0.727 \times 10^{15} s^{-1}\)

= \(7.27 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}\)

\(\approxeq 7.3 \times 10^{14} Hz\)
