Question 29
In the photoelectric effect, the number of electrons emitted per second (photocurrent) is proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation. The work function relates to the threshold frequency, frequency relates to the kinetic energy of emitted electrons, and energy of incident radiation (if above threshold) relates to electron energy, not the number emitted. So the number of electrons emitted per second depends on intensity.
Step1: Recall the wave equation
The wave equation is \( c=\lambda f \), where \( c \) is the speed of light, \( \lambda \) is the wavelength, and \( f \) is the frequency. We need to find \( f \), so we can rearrange the formula to \( f = \frac{c}{\lambda} \).
Step2: Substitute the values
Given \( c = 3.0\times10^{8}\, \text{m/s} \) and \( \lambda = 3.27\, \text{m} \) (assuming the distance is the wavelength, as radio waves are electromagnetic waves and the broadcast distance here might be the wavelength, though the unit seems large, but following the problem). Then \( f=\frac{3.0\times 10^{8}}{3.27}\approx9.17\times 10^{7}\, \text{Hz}=91.7\, \text{MHz} \).
When two substances are in thermal equilibrium (no net heat exchange), they have the same temperature. Heat of fusion is for phase change (solid - liquid), heat of vaporization for liquid - gas, and specific heat capacity is about heat required to change temperature, but thermal equilibrium is about same temperature.
