The mercury atoms in a fluorescent tube are excited and then emit photons in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Explain (i) how the mercury atoms become excited and (ii) how the excited atoms emit photons.

(i) As they pass through the fluorescent tube, they collide with the mercury atoms within it and this collision transfers energy to the atom. This energy transfer allows the atom's orbiti...

A light wave with wavelength 590nm shines upon a metal and causes it to emit an electron with a speed of 5x10^5 m/s. What is the work function of the metal?

The first step for this question is to find out how much energy is absorbed by the electron above its work function. This is found with the kinetic energy equation: K.E.=1/2mv^2 The mass of an electron is...

What is the angular speed of a car wheel of diameter 0.400m when the speed of the car is 108km/h?

A) 75 rad/s      B) 150 rad/s      C) 270 rad/s      D) 540 rad/s       Identify equation as w=v/r      Diameter = 0.4m  Radius  = half the diameter = 0.2m       Velocity needs to be in m/s so 108km/h = 1...
