Answer:

(a) <em>2.88×10¹¹ N/C.</em>

<em>(b) 1.442×10¹⁰ N/C</em>

<em>(c) 46.14×10⁻⁹ N</em>

Explanation:

<em>(a) Electric field due to alpha particle at the location of the electron</em>

<em>E = Kq/r²....................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where E = Electric field, q = charge of the alpha particle, K = proportionality constant, r = distance between the electron and the alpha particle.</em>

<em>Given: q = 3.2×10⁻¹⁹ C, r = 10⁻¹⁰ m.</em>

<em>Constant: K = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting into equation 1</em>

<em>E = 9×10⁹(3.2×10⁻¹⁹)/(10⁻¹⁰)²</em>

<em>E = 28.8×10⁻¹⁰/10⁻²⁰</em>

<em>E = 2.88×10¹¹ N/C.</em>

<em>(b) </em><em>Electric Field due to the electron at the location of the alpha particle</em>

<em>E₁ = Kq₁/r²............................... Equation 2</em>

<em>Where,</em>

<em>E₁ = Electric Field due to the electron at the location of the alpha particle.</em>

<em>q₁ = charge of an electron.</em>

<em>Given: r = 10⁻¹⁰ m</em>

<em>Constant: K = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C², q₁ = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>Substituting into equation 2</em>

<em>E₁ = 9×10⁹×1.602×10⁻¹⁹/(10⁻¹⁰ )²</em>

<em>E₁ = 14.42×10⁻¹⁰/10⁻²⁰</em>

<em>E₁ = 14.42×10¹⁰ </em>

<em>E₁ = 1.442×10¹⁰ N/C.</em>

<em>(c) The electric force on the alpha particle and on the electron.</em>

<em>F = Kqq₁/r² ................................ Equation 3</em>

<em>Given: q = 3.2×10⁻¹⁹ C, r = 10⁻¹⁰ m, </em>

<em>Constant:  K = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C², q₁ = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 3</em>

<em>F =9×10⁹( 3.2×10⁻¹⁹ )(1.602×10⁻¹⁹)/(10⁻¹⁰)²</em>

<em>F = 46.14×10⁻²⁹/10⁻²⁰</em>

<em>F = 46.14×10⁻⁹ N</em>

<em>Thus the electric force = 46.14×10⁻⁹ N</em>

What is the largest tsunami ever recorded
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A tsunami with a record run-up height of 1720 feet occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska. On the night of July 9, 1958, an earthquake along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaska Panhandle loosened about 40 million cubic yards (30.6 million cubic meters) of rock high above the northeastern shore of Lituya Bay.

What is the minimum (non-zero) thickness ttt of the film that produces a strong reflection for green light with a wavelength of
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

200 nm.

Explanation:

The minimum thickness can be found using the following equation:

2t = \frac{m\lambda}{n}

Where:

t: is the thickness =?

m: is the order of interference = 1 (since it is minimum)

n: is the refractive index = 1.25

λ: is the wavelength = 500 nm

t = \frac{m\lambda}{2n} = \frac{500 nm}{2*1.25} = 200 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness is 200 nm.

I hope it helps you!
