. In a device (figure 30-6) that is used to measure the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectric effect electrons, the voltage difference between the collector and emitter is increased until the current flowing through the circuit goes to zero. This is called the stopping potential and the KEmax can be very simply calculated if you use electron-volts. Using this device, you measure this voltage to be 0.710 V for electrons emitted from a surface illuminated by 492-nm light. Then, when you change the incident light to a new wavelength value, the new voltage is 1.41 V. a)What is the new wavelength? b) What is the work function for the surface?

A photocell, such as that illustrated in Figure 6.7(b), is a device used to measure the intensity of light. In a certain experiment, when light of wavelength 560 nm is directed on to the photocell, electrons are emitted at the rate of 9.6 ✕ 10-13 C/s. Assume that each photon that impinges on the photocell emits one electron. How many photons per second are striking the photocell? photons/s How much energy per second is the photocell absorbing?J/s

An electric motor is a device that transfers electrically stored energy into kinetic energy. A very crude one would consist of a conducting wire shaped as a loop with a steady electric current passing through it placed in a uniform magnetic field. Let's imagine that the magnetic field is directed along the positive xx-axis, which we'll set up as going from left to right. The yy-axis points up and the zz-axis points out. Assume an absence of any frictional effects....

In the figure, an electron with an initial kinetic energy of 4.00 keV enters region 1 at time t = 0. That region contains a uniform magnetic field directed into the page, with magnitude 0.00510 T. The electron goes through a half-circle and then exits region 1, headed toward region 2 across a gap of 25.0 cm. There is an electric potential difference ΔV = 2000 V across the gap, with a polarity such that the electron's speed increases uniformly...
