In a photocell circuit the stopping potential $V_0$ is a measure of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. The following graph shows experimentally measured values of stopping potential versus frequency $v$ of incident light. The values of Planck's constant and the work function as determined from the graph are (taking, the magnitude of electronic charge to be $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$ )
A train with cross-sectional area $S _{ t }$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S _0\left( S _0=4 S _{ t }\right)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$ ) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also, the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p _0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$, then $p _0- p =\frac{7}{2 N } \rho v_{ t }^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
