- ONLY ANSWER 3 AND USE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CONTEXT Suppose we have two sources of light, a deep red one with wavelength 700 nm, and a violet one with wavelength 400 nm. Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources. 1. Which color would deliver more photons each second? All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance. 2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain. 3. If we now…arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku Q: You’ve just discovered another new X-ray binary, which we will call Hyp-X2 (“Hyp” for hypothetical). The system Hyp-X2 contains a bright, G2 main-sequence star orbiting an unseen companion. The separation of the stars is estimated to be 12 million kilometers, and the orbital period of the visible star is 5 days. Use Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law to calculate the sum of the masses of the two stars in the system. a)Express your answer in kilograms to two significant figures. b) Give your answer from the previous part in solar masses. ( Msun= 2.0 x 10 /30 kg). Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures. C) Determine the mass of the unseen companion. ( Hint: A G2 main-sequence star has a mass of 1 Msun.) Express your answer as a multiple of sun’s mass to two significant figures.
