Answer:

The minimum uncertainty in the energy state of an atom is $1.0557\times10^{-35}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Time t = 10 s

We need to calculate the minimum uncertainty in the energy state

Using Hisen burg of uncertainty principle equation

$\Delta E\Delta t=\dfrac{h}{2\pi}$

$\Delta E=\dfrac{h}{2\pi}\times\dfrac{1}{\Delta t}$

Where, E = energy

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{2\times3.14}\times\dfrac{1}{10}$

$\Delta E=1.0557\times10^{-35}\ J$

Hence, The minimum uncertainty in the energy state of an atom is $1.0557\times10^{-35}\ J$

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

The processes are described on the image attached below. The isobaric process consists of an horizontal line, the adiabatic expansion is described by a polytropic curve:

$P_{2} \cdot V_{2}^{\gamma} = P_{3} \cdot V_{3}^{\gamma}$

Where:

$\gamma = \frac{c_{p}}{c_{v}}$

$\gamma = 1 + \frac{R}{c_{v}}$

Final pressure is:

$P_{3} = P_{2}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{3}} \right)^{\gamma}$

$P_{3} = P_{o}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\gamma}$

$P_{3} = \frac{P_{o}}{2^{\gamma}}$

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.

While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.

And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
