Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

How do you find the atomic number of a atom?

Vlada [557]

Answer: To find the atomic mass of an atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons.

Explanation: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.

Suppose that the speed of yellow visible light in a certain transparent medium is 2.01* 105 km/s. What, approximately, is the in

True [87]

Answer:

$1.50$

Explanation:

Index of refraction:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$ where $n$ is the refractive index, $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum and $v$ is the speed of light in medium.

The speed of light in vacuum is $3.00 \times 10^5 \text{km/s}$

Speed of light in medium is $2.01 \times 10^5 \text{km/s}$

Thus,

$n=\frac{3.00\times 10^5}{2.01\times 10^5}$

$n=1.50$

Index of refraction of this substance through yellow light is $1.50$

A bicycle travels 6.10 km due east in 0.210 h, then 11.30 km at 15.0° east of north in 0.560 h, and finally another 6.10 km due

Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

First bicycle travels 6.10 km due to east in 0.21 h

Suppose its position vector is $r_1$

$r_1=6.10\hat{i}$

After that it travels 11.30 km at $15^{\circ}$ east of north in 0.560 h

suppose its position vector is $r_2$

$r_{2}=11.30\left ( cos15\hat{j}+sin15\hat{i}\right )$

after that he finally travel 6.10 km due to east in 0.21 h

suppose its position vector is $r_3$

$r_{3}=6.10\hat{i}$

so position of final position is given by

$r=r_1+r_{2}+r_{3}$

$\vec{r}=15.12\hat{i}+10.91\hat{j}$

$\vec{v_{avg}}=\frac{\vec{r}}{t}$

t=0.21+0.56+0.21=0.98 h

$\vec{v_{avg}}=15.42\hat{i}+11.13\hat{j}$

$|v_{avg}|=\sqrt{361.71}=19.01 km/hr$

For direction

$tan\theta =\frac{11.13}{15.42}=0.721$

$\theta =35.791^{\circ}$ w.r.t to x axis
