The wavelength of the incident photon is 1.19x10^{-2} nm.

What is wavelength?

The wavelength, or the distance over which the shape of a periodic wave repeats, is the spatial period in physics. It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two neighboring crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to denote wavelength. The term wavelength is also sometimes used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is inverse, assuming a sinusoidal wave flowing at a constant speed.

Calculations:

The energy loss Δλ=h/m_{e} c(1-cos∅)

Conservation of momentum gives,

h_{f} =P_{e} c-hf'\\hf+hf'=P_{e} c\\hf+hf'=\sqrt{(m_{e} c^{2} } +k^{2} )-me^{2} c^{4} \\\\=\sqrt {(511+30)^{2} -(511)^{2} } \\=178keV

hf=hf'+k=hf-hf'=30keV\\

2hf=178+30\\2hf=208\\hf=104keV\\

Wavelength(λ)=\frac{hc}{104keV}=\frac{1.24keV.nm}{104keV}

Wavelength(λ)=1.19x10^{-2} nm

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of ​​the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.

Answer:

Copper

Explanation:

Capacitance is directly proportional to dielectric constant

Aluminium and zinc are highly reactive and have high dielectric contact.

Copper has less dielectric constant hence capacitance will decrease
