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

10) Two students want to use a 12-meter long rope to create standing waves. They first measure the speed at which a single wave
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

To create a second harmonic the rope must vibrate at the frequency of 3 Hz

Explanation:

First we find the fundamental frequency of the rope. The fundamental frequency is the frequency of the rope when it vibrates in only 1 loop. Therefore,

f₁ = v/2L

where,

v = speed of wave = 36 m/s

L = Length of rope = 12 m

f₁ = fundamental frequency

Therefore,

f₁ = (36 m/s)/2(12 m)

f₁ = 1.5 Hz

Now the frequency of nth harmonic is given in general, as:

fn = nf₁

where,

fn = frequency of nth harmonic

n = No. of Harmonic = 2

f₁ = fundamental frequency = 1.5 Hz

Therefore,

f₂ = (2)(1.5 Hz)

<u>f₂ = 3 Hz</u>

The acceleration due to gravity is higher on juniper Than on earth. The mass and weight of rock on juniper compared to that on e
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2.5 times higher then that on the Earth

Explanation:

Gravity is higher on Jupiter then on Earth because Jupiter is much bigger, because of it's mass compared to Earth the gravity on Jupiter is about 2.4 - 2.5 times higher then Earths surface gravity which means a rock on Jupiter would be around "2.4 - 2.5 times as heavier then it would be on Earth."

Hope this helps.

Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets
NISA [10]
Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.
