Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

The critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface is 47.7°. What is the index of refraction of the liquid? Round to the neares
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface, \theta_1=47.7^{\circ}

Let n₁ is the refractive index of liquid and n₂ is the refractive index of air, n₂ =1

Using Snell's law for air liquid interface as :

n_1\ sin\theta_1=n_2\ sin(90)

n_1\ sin(47.7)=1

n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(47.7)}

n_1=1.35

So, the index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the problem with using your boat's engine to drive it onto a trailer?
Elenna [48]
Silt and other wash can accumulate behind the motor and if other boats are added they can get their hulls damaged or scraped then, depending on the size of the material. It can also cause trailers to get stuck if they drive into the place from where the boat came.

Zepler [3.9K]
The answer is to the question is strong and has a long range. The appropriate response is Strong, short range. The nuclear force is a compel that demonstrations between the protons and neutrons of particles. Neutrons and protons, both nucleons, are influenced by the atomic drive indistinguishably.
