Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most o

f the light incident upon it. This works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. In this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. If very intense light whose photons carry 2eV of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4eV, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. What is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass?

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

It would take millions of years to form a mountain as plates move very slowly and to form it first one plate should climb upon another. After this very slowly this hill will convert into a mountain.

The force between a pair of .005 charges is 750 N. What is the distance between them?
Ganezh [65]

Question: The force between a pair of 0.005 C is 750 N. What is the distance between them?

Answer:

17.32 m

Explanation:

From coulomb's Law,

F = kqq'/r²........................... Equation 1

Where F = Force between the force, q' and q = both charges respectively, k = coulomb's constant, r = distance between both charges.

make r the subject of the equation above

r = √(kqq'/F)..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: q = q' = 0.005 C, F = 750 N

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute these values into equation 2

r = √(9.0×10⁹×0.005×0.005/750)

r = √(300)

r = 17.32 m.

Hence the distance between the pair of charges = 17.32 m

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

a) Knowns, initial speed v_{i}=13.0 m/s, final speed v_{f}=0 m/s and gravity due it is a constant g=9.8m/s^{2}

b) The maximum high reached by the dolphin is y_{max}=8.62 m

c) Total time is t=2.65s

Explanation:

a) First of all the initial speed is given at the start of the problem, gravity is constant and final speed is known any object thrown straight up reaches its max high at 0m/s speed.

b) Second, now that we know final speed we use v_{f} =v_{i}-gt, as we clear for t=\frac{v_{i}-v_{f} }{g}=\frac{20.0m/s}{9.8m/s^{2} }=1.32 s.

Then we use y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}=(20.0m/s)(1.32s)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} ) (1.32s)^{2}  =8.62m

c)Third, finally we can use y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}, as we know y=0m when the dolphin fall into the water again and v_{i} =13.0m/s, then we have 0=(13m/s)t-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2}  )t^{2} is a quadratic form 0=t(13.0-4.9t) so we have t_{i}=0s and t_{f}=\frac{13}{4.90}  =2.65s
