Question

Can X-rays be used for photoelectric effect?

✓

Answer

Yes, X-rays can be use for photoelectric effect. Photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a metal surface when the frequency of radiation is greater than the threshold frequency of the metal. For photoelectric effect using X-rays, the energy of the incoming X-ray photon should be greater than the work-function of the metal used.

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of 200rad s^-1, an engine needs to transmit a torque of 180Nm. What is the power required by the engine?
(Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100% efficient.

Consider the situation of the previous problem. Assume that the temperature of the water at the bottom of the lake remains constant at 4^°C as the ice forms on the surface (the heat required to maintain the temperature of the bottom layer may come from the bed of the lake). The depth of the lake is 1.0m. Show that the thickness of the ice formed attains a steady state maximum value. Find this value. The thermal conductivity of water $=0.50\text{Wm}^{-1}{^{\circ}}\text{C}^{-1}.$ Take other relevant data from the previous problem.
