The number of atoms needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 6.11 mm is 17,457,143.

<h3>What is Unit conversion?</h3>

Unit conversion is a way of converting some common units into another without changing their real value. for, example, 1 centimeter is equal to 10 mm, though the real measurement is still the same the units and numerical values have been changed.

Given that the radius of a lead atom is 175 picometers. Therefore, the radius of the lead atom in mm can be written as,

1 picometer = 10⁻⁹ millimeter

175 picometer = 175×10⁻⁹ millimeter

The radius of the lead atom = 175×10⁻⁹ millimeter

Since the atoms are needed to be arranged side by side, therefore, the diameter of one lead atom will join with the other, thus, the diameter of the lead atom is,

Diameter of lead atom = 2 × 175 × 10⁻⁹ millimeter = 350 ×10⁻⁹ millimeter

Now, let the number of lead atoms be represented by n. Therefore, the number of atoms needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 6.11 mm is,

6.11 mm = Number of atoms × Diameter of atoms

6.11 mm = n × 350 ×10⁻⁹ mm

Solving for n,

n = 6.11 mm / 350 ×10⁻⁹ mm

n = 17,457,142.86 ≈ 17,457,143

Hence, the number of atoms needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 6.11 mm is 17,457,143.

Suppose you are observing the interference pattern formed by a Michelson interferometer in a laboratory and a joking colleague h
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Michelson interferometer , two light waves from different directions are made to overlap so that fringes are formed on the screen due to interference . In it,  two monochromatic and coherent light are made to overlap which have some path difference or phase difference. They form dark and bright fringes .

Now when a match stick is lit in the path of a wave , the fringes will disappear  and an general illumination will be observed on the screen as the light from the lit match stick will not be coherent . Incoherent light can not form stable fringes.

Two atoms with different mass number but the same atomic number are called A) elements. B) ions. C) isotopes. D) nuclei.
saw5 [17]

C isotopes is the correct answer. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number.All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.  

Hope this helps! :)
