Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles?

2 answers:

8 0

Scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. These observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.2° to the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. (a) If the beam is refract

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) n2 = 1.55

b) 408.25 nm

c) 4.74*10^14 Hz

d) 1.93*10^8 m/s

Explanation:

a) To find the index of refraction of the syrup solution you use the Snell's law:

$n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2$ (1)

n1: index of refraction of air

n2: index of syrup solution

angle1: incidence angle

angle2: refraction angle

You replace the values of the parameter in (1) and calculate n2:

$n_2=\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}=\frac{(1)(sin30.2\°)}{sin18.82\°}=1.55$

b) To fond the wavelength in the solution you use:

$\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\lambda_1\frac{n_1}{n_2}=(632.8nm)\frac{1.00}{1.55}=408.25nm$

c) The frequency of the wave in the solution is:

$v=\lambda_2 f_2\\\\f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda_2}=\frac{c}{n_2\lambda_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{(1.55)(408.25*10^{-9}m)}=4.74*10^{14}\ Hz$

d) The speed in the solution is given by:

$v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1.55}=1.93*10^8m/s$

A proton is confined in an infinite square well of width 10 fm. (The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nu

kvasek [131]

Answer:

First Question

$E = 1.065*10^{-12} \ J$

Second Question

The wavelength is for an X-ray

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The width of the wall is $w = 10\ fm = 10*10^{-15 }\ m$

The first excited state is $n_1 = 2$

The ground state is $n_0 = 1$

Gnerally the energy (in MeV) of the photon emitted when the proton undergoes a transition is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h^2 }{ 8 * m * l^2 [ n_1^2 - n_0 ^2 ] }$

Here h is the Planck's constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

m is the mass of proton with value $m = 1.67 * 10^{-27} \ kg$

$E = \frac{( 6.626*10^{-34})^2 }{ 8 * (1.67 *10^{-27}) * (10 *10^{-15})^2 [ 2^2 - 1 ^2 ] }$

=> $E = 1.065*10^{-12} \ J$

Generally the energy of the photon emitted is also mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h * c }{ \lambda }$

=> $\lambda = \frac{h * c }{E }$

=> $\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }{ 1.065 *10^{-15 } }$

=> $\lambda = 1.87*10^{-10} \ m$

Generally the range of wavelength of X-ray is $10^{-8} \to 1)^{-12}$

So this wavelength is for an X-ray.

Who has greater displacement, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the earth or you when you have just traveled from

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.

This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.

So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school. The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.

However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.
