How was CMB radiation first discovered? Penzias and Wilson were looking for it using a radio receiver. A radio receiver accident

ally picked up its energy. Scientists saw it through a high tech telescope. A mission of the COBE satellite found it.

Im guessing this was supposed to be a multiple choice question. The answer is: "A radio receiver accidentally picked up its energy."

Answer:

A radio receiver accidentally picked up its energy.

Explanation:

CMB is leftover radiation from the early era of the universe. It can be detected universally in all directions. Its presence provides a strong evidence of the Big Bang theory which describes the beginning of the universe 13.6 billion years ago.

Penzias and Wilson were mapping signals from the Milky Way when they accidentally picked up CMB energy. It was unexpected discovery using a radio receiver.

A piece of glass has a temperature of 72.0 degrees Celsius. The specific heat capacity of the glass is 840 J/kg/deg C. A liquid
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

741 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature of glass, T(g) = 72° C

Specific heat capacity of glass, c(g) = 840 J/kg°C

Temperature of liquid, T(l)= 40° C

Final temperature, T(2) = 57° C

Specific heat capacity of the liquid, c(l) = ?

Using the relation

Heat gained by the liquid = Heat lost by the glass

m(l).C(l).ΔT(l) = m(g).C(g).ΔT(g)

Since their mass are the same, then

C(l)ΔT(l) = C(g)ΔT(g)

C(l) = C(g)ΔT(g) / ΔT(l)

C(l) = 840 * (72 - 57) / (57 - 40)

C(l) = 12600 / 17

C(l) = 741 J/kg°C

What is the wavelength and frequency of a photon emitted by transition of an electron from a n- orbit to a n-1 orbit'?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

\lambda=9.12\times 10^{-8}}\times \frac {{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}{1-2n}\ m

\nu=3.29\times 10^{15}\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}\ s^{-1}

Explanation:

E_n=-2.179\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules

For transitions:

Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

n_i=n\ and\ n_f=n-1

Thus solving it, we get:

\Delta E=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n^2} - \dfrac{1}{{(n-1)}^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{{(n-1)}^2-n^2}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}})\ J

\Delta E=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{n^2+1-2n-n^2}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}})\ J

\Delta E=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}})\ J

Also, \Delta E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So,

\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}})\ J

\lambda=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times \frac {{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}{{1-2n}}\ m

So,

\lambda=9.12\times 10^{-8}}\times \frac {{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}{1-2n}\ m

Also, \Delta E=h\times \nu

So,

h\times \nu=2.179\times 10^{-18}\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}

\nu=\frac {2.179\times 10^{-18}}{6.626\times 10^{-34}}\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}\ s^{-1}

\nu=3.29\times 10^{15}\frac{1-2n}{{{(n-1)}^2}\times n^2}}\ s^{-1}
