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

How have the competing explanations' experiments on atoms affected the development of the atomic model?
olga2289 [7]

Answer

Competing explanations' experiments on atoms gave a perfect modal of an atom

Explanation

There is a long story of atom. Different scientist gave different theories related to atomic modal but no one individually gave a perfect modal they perfect each other work and finally we got a perfect modal of atom.

Here is a short story of atom

in 400 B.C.E, Democritus was the first philosopher who gave the concept of atom. He believes that everything is made up of tiny spheres  and these spheres are known as atoms.

in 1803, Dalton said that atoms of an element are similar. For example all atoms of carbon are similar.

in 1904 J. J. Thomson proposed that atom is sphere in which positively charged matter is filled and electrons are randomly scattered in that positively charged matter.

in 1911, Rutherford gave the concept of nucleus he believed that at the center of atoms all positively charged  particles are present and this center is known as nucleus. He said that negatively charge electrons revolves around the nucleus in particular orbit.

In 1913, Niels Bohr gave a new model he believes that atomic model is similar to planetary modal. He believed that the electrons in an atom revolves around  the nucleus in sets of orbits in a similar manner like the planets revolves around the sun.

In 1919, Rutherford gave the concept of proton.  

In 1932, James Chadwick gives the concept of neutron.

In this way different scientist gave different theories related to atoms and finally they all gave a perfect modal of atom.

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)
TEA [102]
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.
