Answer:

a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?

The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).

The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).

The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Explanation:

A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.

The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.

If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:

E = \sigma T^{4}  (1)

Where \sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):

\lambda max = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{T}   (2)

Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:

E_{\lambda} = {{8 \pi h c}\over{{\lambda}^5}{(e^{({hc}/{\lambda \kappa T})}-1)}}}  (3)

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.

Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}   (4)

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:

Before replacing all the values in equation (4), \lambda max (450 nm) will be express in meters:

450 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 4.5x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{4.5x10^{-7}m}

T = 6440 K

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:

Following the same approach above:

700 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 7x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{7x10^{-7}m}

T = 4140 K

Comparison:

\frac{6440 K}{4140 K} = 1.55

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

The atomic number is the simply the number of protons in the atom. So in the first row with atomic number 2, the number of protons is 2.

If the atom has no charge, which I think you can assume for all of these, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the number of electrons is also 2.

The number of neutrons (which are the particles with no charge in the nucleus) is simply the mass number minus the atomic number i.e. 4 - 2 = 2.

The isotopic symbol is the symbol which is found on the periodic table of elements. There are 2 numbers associated which each element on the table. The larger is the mass number and the smaller is the atomic number. The atomic number or number of protons is what identifies the element. Looking at the periodic table ( https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/PeriodicTableOfTheElementsBW.pdf or https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(big) ), it can be seen that the element on the first row above with an atomic number of 2 is Helium with a symbol He. The number that is included with the name is simply the mass number which is 4 in this case, which tells us that this type of helium has 2 neutrons.

Another type (or isotope) of helium is Helium-3 which has one neutron.

Rzqust [24]
<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²
