Lawson's criterion states that the product of ion density and confinement time must exceed a certain number before a break-even

fusion reaction can occur. Why should these two parameters determine the outcome?

According to Lawson's criterion, the outcome is determined by the product of ion density and confinement time because the temperature must be maintained for a sufficient confinement time and with a sufficient ion thickness to obtain a net gain of power from a fusion reaction.

<h3>What are Lawson's criterion?</h3>
  • The overall conditions that must be met in order to produce more energy than is required for plasma heating are usually expressed in terms of the product of ion density and confinement time, a condition known as Lawson's criterion.
  • In nuclear fusion devices, confinement time is defined as the amount of time the plasma is kept at a temperature above the critical ignition temperature.
  • Even at temperatures high enough to overcome the coulomb barrier to nuclear fusion, a critical density of ions must be maintained in order to achieve a net yield of energy from the reaction.
  • Because the density required for a net energy yield is correlated with the confinement time for hot plasma, the minimum condition for a productive fusion reaction is typically stated in terms of the product of ion density and confinement time, which is known as Lawson's criterion.

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth. Its angular velocity is 7.27*10^-5 rad/s. What is the velocity o
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 3.08 km/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The angular velocity of the satellite = \omega=7.27\times 10^{-5} rad/s

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth.

The radius of the earth is 6400 km

Let v is the velocity of the satellite. It can be calculated as :

v=r\omega\\\\v=(36000\times 10^3+6400\times 10^3)\times 7.27\times 10^{-5}\\\\v=3082.48\ m/s\\\\v=3.08\ km/s

So, the velocity of the satellite is 3.08 km/s.

What is the frequency of a photon of emr with a wavelength of 2.55x10-3m?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz

Explanation:

The equation used to find frequency is:

f = c / w

In this form, "f" represents the frequency (Hz), "c" represents the speed of light (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s), and "w" represents the wavelength (m).

Since you have been given the value of the constant (c) and wavelength, you can substitute these values into the equation to find frequency.

f = c / w                                                      <---- Formula

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / w                                 <---- Plug 3.0 x 10⁸ in "c"

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.55 x 10⁻³ m)            <---- Plug 2.55 x 10⁻³ in "w"

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz                                         <---- Divide
