All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeThe kinetic energy of an electron accelerated in an x-ray tube is 100 keV. Assuming it is nonrelativistic, what is its wavelength?
Tanning salons use “safe” UV with a longer wavelength than some of the UV in sunlight. This “safe” UV has enough photon energy to trigger the tanning mechanism. Is it likely to be able to cause cell damage and induce cancer with prolonged exposure?
UV radiation having a \(300\,{\rm{-nm}}\) wavelength falls on uranium metal, ejecting \(0.500\,{\rm{eV}}\) electrons. What is the binding energy of electrons to uranium metal?
A certain heat lamp emits 200 W of mostly IR radiation averaging 1500 nm in wavelength.
(a) What is the average photon energy in joules?
(b) How many of these photons are required to increase the temperature of a person's shoulder by 2.0oC, assuming the affected mass is 4.0 kg with a specific heat of 0.83 kcal/kgoC.

(c) How long does this take?
Question: A laser with a power output of \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.00 mW}}\) at a wavelength of \({\rm{400 nm}}\) is projected onto calcium metal. (a) How many electrons per second are ejected? (b) What power is carried away by the electrons, given that the binding energy is \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.71 eV}}\)?
