Ranking of de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest is electron > proton > helium

De Broglie proposed that because light has both wave and particle properties, matter exhibits both wave and particle properties. This property has been explained as the dual behavior of matter.
From his observations, de Broglie derived the relationship between the wavelength and momentum of matter. This relationship is known as de Broglie's relationship

De Broglie's relationship is given by $\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$ .....(1) , where λ is known as de Broglie wavelength and m is mass , v is velocity , h = Plank’s constant.

From equation (1) wavelength and mass has an inverse relation .

Mass of helium is 4 times the mass of the proton and proton has a greater mass than electron.

According to equation (1) , less the mass higher will be the wavelength

Hence electron having less mass have higher wavelength and then proton and then helium having large mass will have less wavelength .

Thus, order should be electron > proton > helium .

An object is 10 cm from thé mirror, its height is 1 cm and thé focal length is 5 cm. What is thé distance from thé mirror? S1= _

Viefleur [7K]

Note: I assume the mirror is concave, so that its focal length is positive (it is not specified in the text)

1a) We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
where
$f=5 cm$ is the focal length
$p=10 cm$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$q$ is the distance of the image from the mirror.

Rearranging the equation, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{5}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is $q=10 cm$ .

1b) The image height is given by the magnification equation:
$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}$
where $h_i$ is the heigth of the image and $h_o=1 cm$ is the height of the object. By rearranging the equation and using p and q, we find
$h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(1 cm) \frac{10 cm}{10 cm}=-1 cm$
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

2) As before, we can find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
$q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm$

3) As before, we find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}$
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
$q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm$

And now we can use the magnification equation to find the image height:
$\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}$
Rearranging it, we find
$h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(3cm) \frac{10 cm}{2.5 cm}=-12 cm$
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

Given that the concentration of bovine carbonic anhydrase is 3.3 pmol ⋅ L − 1 and R max ( V max ) = 222 μmol ⋅ L − 1 ⋅ s − 1 , d

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The turnover number of the enzyme molecule bovine carbonic anhydrase = 67,272,727.27 s^–1.

Explanation:

Given:

The concentration of bovine carbonic anhydrase = total enzyme concentration = Et = 3.3 pmol⋅L^–1 = 3.3 × 10^–12 mol.L^–1

The maximum rate of reaction = Rmax (Vmax) = 222 μmol⋅L^–1⋅s^–1 = 222 × 10^–6 mol.L^–1⋅s^–1

The formula for the turnover number of an enzyme (kcat, or catalytic rate constant) = Rmax ÷ Et = 222 × 10^–6 mol.L^–1⋅s^–1 ÷ 3.3 × 10^–12 mol.L^–1 = 67,272,727.27 s^–1

Therefore, the turnover number of the enzyme molecule bovine carbonic anhydrase = 67,272,727.27 s^–1

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball $v_1=25m/sec$

And velocity after rebound $v_2=-19m/sec$

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to $=m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec$ ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer

Forces that are equal in strength and opposite indirection are

Otrada [13]

Hey there! My name is Christy and I'm gladly to help you out!

The three main forces that stop moving objects are friction, gravity and wind resistance. Equal forces acting inopposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forcesacting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the netforce is zero.

Hope this helped!
