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

A rock is suspended from a string, and it accelerates downward. Which one of the following statements is correct? Group of answe
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

a. The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the rock.

Explanation:

During the motion of the rock while it is in downward motion we can say

T - mg cos\theta = ma_c

since it is performing circular motion so we will have its acceleration towards its center

T = mgcos\theta + ma_c

a_c = \frac{v^2}{L}

T = mgcos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{L}

So at the lowest point of the path we can say

T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{L}

so correct answer is

a. The magnitude of the tension in the string is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the rock.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Remain unchanged

Explanation:

The boat with water barrel overboard floats in swimming pool when weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the buoyant force acting on the boat.

When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the level of the swimming pool level would remain unchanged as the weight of the boat  with the water and barrel would remain unchanged ( as the density and volume of the whole system remains same) and hence, the weight of the water (of the swimming pool) displaced by the boat would remain same.

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming pool level will <u>remain unchanged. </u>

What is the net charge of a copper atom if it gains 2 electrons?
Alex_Xolod [135]
If an atom gains electrons, it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons gained.
So the net charge on the copper atom which gained 2 electrons will be -2.
