In the presence of a nucleus the energy of a y-ray photon can be converted into an electron-positron pair. Calculate the minimum

energy for this to occur and thus the frequency of such a photon. Hint: use E = mc2.]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of electron in amu = .000549

mass of electron = mass of proton

total mass of electron and proton = 2 x1.098 x 10⁻³ = 2.196 x 10⁻³ amu

1 amu = 931 x 10⁶ eV

2.196 X 10⁻³ amu = 2.196 x 931 x 10³ eV

= 2.044 X 10⁶ eV.

= 2044 X 10³ ev

So minimum energy required = 2044 x 10³ eV.

Wavelength of photon required = 12375/2044 x 10³ A

= 6.054 X 10⁻³A. =6.054 X 10⁻¹³ m

frequency of photon  = 3 x 10⁸/6.054x 10⁻¹³

= .4955 x 10¹⁶Hz.

= 4.955 x 10¹⁵ Hz

a 74.9 kg person sits at rest on an icy pond holding a physics book. he throws the physics book west at 8.25 m/s and he recoils
kifflom [539]

Answer:

1.95 kg

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

0 = (74.9) (-0.215) + m (8.25)

m = 1.95

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m

What is R2 in the circuit?<br> WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !!!!
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

1. Rₑq = 4 Ω

2. R₂ = 6 Ω

3. Vₜ = 12 V, V₁ = 12 V, V₂ = 12 V

4. Iₜ = 3 A, I₁ = 1 A, I₂ = 2 A

Explanation:

1. Determination of the equivalent resistance

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 3 A

Resistance (Rₑq) =?

V= IRₑq

12 = 3 × Rₑq

Divide both side by 3

Rₑq = 12 / 3

Rₑq = 4 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance (Rₑq) = 4 Ω

2. Determination of R₂.

Equivalent resistance (Rₑq) = 4 Ω

Resistance 1 (R₁) = 12 Ω

Resistance 2 (R₂)

Since the resistor are in parallel arrangement, the value of R₂ can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = R₁ × R₂ / R₁ + R₂

4 = 12 × R₂ / 12 + R₂

Cross multiply

4(12 + R₂) = 12R₂

48 + 4R₂ = 12R₂

Collect like terms

48 = 12R₂ – 4R₂

48 = 8R₂

Divide both side by 8

R₂ = 48 / 8

R₂ = 6 Ω

3. Determination of the total voltage (Vₜ), V₁ and V₂.

From the question given above, the total voltage is 12 V

Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, the same voltage will go through them.

Thus,

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = 12 V

4. Determination of the total current (Iₜ), I₁ and I₂

From the question given above, the total current (Iₜ) is 3 A

Next, we shall determine I₁. Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, different current will pass through each resistor respective.

Vₜ = V₁ = 12 V

R₁ = 12 Ω

I₁ =?

V₁ = I₁R₁

12 = I₁ ×12

Divide both side by 12

I₁ = 12 / 12

I₁ = 1 A

Next, we shall determine I₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Iₜ = 3 A

I₁ = 1 A

I₂ =?

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂

3 = 1 + I₂

Collect like terms

I₂ = 3 – 1

I₂ = 2 A
