A new study provides a possible explanation of mysterious X-ray flares detected by the Chandra K-ray Observatory for several years in the region of Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*. The study suggests a cloud around Sgr A*, a supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, which contains hundreds of trillions of asteroids and comets that have been stripped from their parent stars. The flares occur when asteroids of six miles or larger in radius are consumed by the black hole. An asteroid that undergoes a close encounter with another object, such as a star or planet, can be thrown into an orbit headed towards Sgr A*. If the asteroid passes within about 100 million miles of the black hole, roughly the distance between the Earth and the sun, it is torn into pieces by the tidal forces from the black hole. These fragments would then be vaporized by friction as they pass through the hot, thin gas flowing onto Sgr A*, similar to a meteor heating up and glowing as it falls through Earth's atmosphere. A flare is produced and eventually the remains of the asteroid are swallowed by the black hole. Image Credit: Illustrations: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss Read More

Well, we discussed briefly in class, and like .. I can not find information my book. Can you help please? The question is: Suppose you are an engineer designing a spacecraft to land on a faraway planet. You want to use a switch works by the photoelectric effect. The metal to be used in the device requires 6.7 x 10 ^ -19 kJ / atom to remove an electron. You know the atmosphere of world in which the device should work all filter lengths wavelength of light equal to 540 nm. The device will operate on the planet in question? Why Why or why not?
It's a great question: To solve this problem, you must determine whether the light with a wavelength of 540nm or more photons with energy greater than 6.7 x 10 ^ -19 kJ / atom, E = hv (v = nu = frequency of light) lv = c, where c = speed of light, lamba L, wavelength of light, v = df = Solve for freq and solve for E, and you have the answer.
