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…
Hi, pls help me answer these questions. I hope I'd get all the items done for reference purpose. Thank you so much.
***1. From your understanding of nuclear fission, explain how an atomic bomb works.
2. Why do heavy elements such as uranium undergo fission while light elements such as hydrogen and lithium undergo fusion?
3. What are the advantages of a fusion reactor over a fission reactor? What are the practical difficulties in operating large-scale fusion reactor?
Directions: Solve the following problems carefully. Write your detailed solutions on another sheet of paper. Write clearly so I can understand please
Suppose the spaceship is approaching the Earth at half the speed of light and shoots a canister at a speed of 0.950c.1. At what velocity will an Earth-bound observer see the canister if it is shot directly towards the Earth?2. If it is shot directly away from the Earth?

Shown in yellow in the figure below is a region of the uniform magnetic field of width a=1.18 cm that is used to deflect a beam of accelerated electrons entering this region normally with speed v=11.6 × 106 m/s. After leaving the deflection region, electrons hit the screen, distance b=13.6 cm away, to produce an image. When the field is zero, the electrons would hit the screen in the center, at point O. With the field B=46.3 G, electrons hit the screen at point P, distance d above point O. Find this displacement d caused by the magnetic deflection: d= _____ cmarrow_forward
