Answer:

B. it showed that the wave nature of light is a probability statement of where photons are going to be

Explanation:

When the light propagates through a medium it is taken to act as a wave, it shows all the features of a wave such as reflection, refraction, diffraction.

  • But when the light ray is incident on a surface generating an energy interaction with the particles of the matter on which it is incident then it is treated as matter. Light is made of particles called photons.
  • The collision of photons with the surface electrons in some materials leads to the ejection of the valance electrons from the surface in excited state.

Energy of photon is given as:

E=h.\nu

where:

h = Planck's constant

\nu= frequency of the wave

What is a fixed volume
nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

A rigid, insulated tank whose volume is 10 L is initially evacuated. A pinhole leak develops and air from the surroundings at 1
balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is "143.74^{\circ} \ C , 8.36\ g, and \ 2.77\ \frac{K}{J}"

Explanation:

For point a:

Energy balance equation:

\frac{dU}{dt}= Q-Wm_ih_i-m_eh_e\\\\

W=0\\\\Q=0\\\\m_e=0

From the above equation:

\frac{dU}{dt}=0-0+m_ih_i-0\\\\\Delta U=\int^{2}_{1}m_ih_idt\\\\

because the rate of air entering the tank that is h_i constant.

\Delta U = h_i \int^{2}_{1} m_i dt \\\\= h_i(m_2 -m_1)\\\\m_2u_2-m_1u_2=h_i(M_2-m_1)\\\\

Since the tank was initially empty and the inlet is constant hence, m_2u-0=h_1(m_2-0)\\\\m_2u_2=h_1m_2\\\\u_2=h_1\\\\

Interpolate the enthalpy between T = 300 \ K \ and\ T=295\ K. The surrounding air  

temperature:

T_1= 25^{\circ}\ C\ (298.15 \ K)\\\\\frac{h_{300 \ K}-h_{295\ K}}{300-295}= \frac{h_{300 \ K}-h_{1}}{300-295.15}

Substituting the value from ideal gas:

\frac{300.19-295.17}{300-295}=\frac{300.19-h_{i}}{300-298.15}\\\\h_i= 298.332 \ \frac{kJ}{kg}\\\\Now,\\\\h_i=u_2\\\\u_2=h_i=298.33\ \frac{kJ}{kg}

Follow the ideal gas table.

The u_2= 298.33\ \frac{kJ}{kg} and between temperature T =410 \ K \ and\  T=240\ K.

Interpolate

\frac{420-410}{u_{240\ k} -u_{410\ k}}=\frac{420-T_2}{u_{420 k}-u_2}

Substitute values from the table.

 \frac{420-410}{300.69-293.43}=\frac{420-T_2}{{u_{420 k}-u_2}}\\\\T_2=416.74\ K\\\\=143.74^{\circ} \ C\\\\

For point b:

Consider the ideal gas equation.  therefore, p is pressure, V is the volume, m is mass of gas. \bar{R} \ is\  \frac{R}{M} (M is the molar mass of the  gas that is 28.97 \ \frac{kg}{mol} and R is gas constant), and T is the temperature.

n=\frac{pV}{TR}\\\\

=\frac{(1.01 \times 10^5 \ Pa) \times (10\ L) (\frac{10^{-3} \ m^3}{1\ L})}{(416.74 K) (\frac{8.314 \frac{J}{mol.k} }{2897\ \frac{kg}{mol})}}\\\\=8.36\ g\\\\

For point c:

 Entropy is given by the following formula:

\Delta S = mC_v \In \frac{T_2}{T_1}\\\\=0.00836 \ kg \times 1.005 \times 10^{3} \In (\frac{416.74\ K}{298.15\ K})\\\\=2.77 \ \frac{J}{K}

How does this relate to Newton's second law?
taurus [48]

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.
