The radius of a niobium atom is 131 pm. how many niobium atoms would have to be laid side by side to span a distance of 2.40 mm

1 answer:

7 0

First, we must know the following conversions:

1 pm = 10⁻¹² m
1 mm = 10⁻³ m

Therefore,
1 pm = 10⁻⁹ mm

The radius of the atom is 131 pm, which means that the span of one atom, the diameter, is 262 pm.

Number of atoms needed = distance to be covered / span of one atom
Number of atoms needed = 2.4 / 262 x 10⁻⁹
Number of atoms needed = 9.16 x 10⁷

9.16 x 10⁷ atoms of niobium will be needed

Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?

sergiy2304 [10]

I’ll refer to electromagnetic radiation as EMR.

Visible light is a very small subset of EMR. Many other ranges like infrared, ultraviolet, or gamma must be detected by special equipment.

EMR is what makes up light, and as we know from any high school physics class, light exhibits both particle-like properties (photoelectric effect and Compton scattering) and wave-like properties (refraction, diffraction, double-slit & single-slit experiment).

EMR can travel without a medium, like the vast emptiness of space. It can also travel with a medium. It can transmit through various materials albeit at a slower speed, like water, earth’s atmosphere, glass etc.

The propagation speed of EMR in space is 3x10^8 m/s, which is a speed unattainable by any of our current means of transportation. I would say that’s quite fast.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

10432.19076 m

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 660 nm

d = Diameter of pupils = 6 mm

s = Distance between lights = 1.4 m

L = Distance from observer

From Rayleigh's criteria we have

$1.22\lambda=dsin\theta$

As $\theta$ is small $sin\theta=\dfrac{s}{L}$

So, the equation becomes

$1.22\lambda=d\dfrac{s}{L}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{ds}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-3}\times 1.4}{1.22\times 660\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=10432.19076\ m$

The car is 10432.19076 m from me

Answer:

dr/dt = 1.94 units per second

Explanation:

A particle is moving on the x-axis to the right at 2 u/s.

To know how is changing the distance of the particle respect to the point (0,9), on the y-axis, you first take into account that the distance between charge and a point over the y-axis is given by:

$r^2=x^2+y^2$ (1)
