Look first for the relation between deBroglie wavelength (λ) and kinetic energy (K): 
K = ½mv² 
v = √(2K/m) 
λ = h/(mv) 
= h/(m√(2K/m)) 
= h/√(2Km) 

So λ is proportional to 1/√K. 
in the potential well the potential energy is zero, so completely the electron's energy is in the shape of kinetic energy: 
K = 6U₀ 

Outer the potential well the potential energy is U₀, so 
K = 5U₀ 
(because kinetic and potential energies add up to 6U₀) 

Therefore, the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the region x>L (outside the well) to the wavelength for 0<x<L (inside the well) is: 
1/√(5U₀) : 1/√(6U₀) 
= √6 : √5

How many electrons will a single atom of sulfur with no charge and no bonds have in its valence shell?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

There are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.

Explanation:

Sulphur is a non-mettalic element which is in the period 3 and group .6on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 16 and a Mass number of 32. Atomic number tells you the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom. It has the electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

The orbitals have a formula 2n^2 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.

In the shells, n = 1 so there are 2 electrons. For n = 2, 2*(2)^2 = 8 electrons. So, 16 - (8 + 2) = 6 electrons in the 3 shell (outermost shell)

Therefore from the electronic confriguration above, there are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.

What do tendons connect skeletal muscles to?​
Doss [256]

Answer:

Tendons connect muscle to bone. These tough, yet flexible, bands of fibrous tissue attach the skeletal muscles to the bones they move. Essentially, tendons enable you to move; think of them as intermediaries between muscles and bones.

Hope this helps! (:
