<span>One of three things the photon passes through unscathed, the photon gets absorbed by the electron of an atom and stays put, or the photon gets absorbed and a second generation photon is generated by that electron</span>

Bowling ball and a balloon are dropped from a 50 m tall building at the same time. IN AIR which object will hit the ground firs
HACTEHA [7]

It depends, What is the balloon filled with? Just air, heilum, water, etc. If its just air then the bowling ball would most likly hit first, but if the balloon is filled with water it would problably hit at the same time, theres also air resistace to think about is there any or it is almost like a vaccum chamber?

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?
serg [7]

Answer: 6.268(10)^{-16}J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron K_{e} is given by the following equation:

K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}   (1)

Where:

K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}

p_{e} is the momentum of the electron

m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg  is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find p_{e}:

p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}    (2)

p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}  

p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}   (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron \lambda_{e}   with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}    (4)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of p_{e} found in (3) for equation (4):

\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}    

\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon  \lambda_{p} is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon E_{p} using the following equation:

E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}    (7)

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s  is the spped of light in vacuum

E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}  

Finally:

E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J
