A hydrogen atom, initially at rest, absorbs an ultraviolet photon with a wavelength of λ=121.3nm. Part A: What is the atom's fin

al speed if it now emits an identical photon in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the original photon?
Part B: What is the atom's final speed if it now emits an identical photon in a direction that is opposite to the direction of motion of the original photon?

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum of a photon

= h / λ

Where h is plank's constant and λ is wave length of photon

h = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ Js and λ = 121.3 x 10⁻⁹ m

momentum of photon

= \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{121.3\times10^{-9}}

= 5.44 x 10 ⁻²⁷ Ns

Momentum of hydrogen atom

= 5.44 x 10 ⁻²⁷ Ns

When hydrogen atom emits another photon in perpendicular direction , according to Newton's second law , it acquires additional momentum of equal magnitude in opposite direction to the direction of emission of photon. Hence it has two similar momentum in perpendicular direction.

The resultant momentum

= \sqrt{2} x 5.44 x 10⁻²⁷

= 7.7 x 10⁻²⁷ Ns

B ) When hydrogen atom emits another photon in opposite direction , according to Newton's second law , it acquires additional momentum of equal magnitude in opposite direction to the direction of emission of photon. Hence it has two similar momentum in acting in the same  direction.

The resultant momentum

= 2 x 5.44 x 10⁻²⁷ Js.

= 10.88 x 10⁻²⁷ Js

HEY CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER DIS!!!!!!
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.wrap bar magnet in a plastic baggie and remove the iron filings from the mixture by using a bar magnet. Place a small piece of scrap paper on the scale and “tare” the scale. Then place filings on the scrap paper and record (e) the mass of the iron filings. Don't throw out the iron–save it to be recollected.

2.When sand is added to water it either hangs in the water or forms a layer at the bottom of the container. Sand therefore does not dissolve in water and is insoluble. It is easy to separate sand and water by filtering the mixture. Salt can be separated from a solution through evaporation.

3.Sand (mostly silicon dioxide) is not.

Pour the salt and sand mixture into a pan.

Add water. ...

Heat the water until the salt dissolves. ...

Remove the pan from heat and allow it to cool until it's safe to handle.

Pour the salt water into a separate container.

Now collect the sand.

Pour the salt water back into the empty pan.

Heat the salt water until the water boils. Continue boiling it until the water is gone and you're left with the salt.

Another way you can separate the salt water and sand is to stir up the sand/salt water and pour it through a coffee filter to capture the sand.

Is the appearance of a light wave changed as it is aborted?
Sonbull [250]
Light waves are never 'aborted'. 

They can be 'absorbed', and I think that's what you mean. 
It's what happens when light hits something or goes into it,
and never comes out. 

"Absorb" just means "soak up".  When a light wave hits something and
gets soaked up in it, it's gone, and never comes out the other side.

The light wave certainly gets changed ... it no longer exists.

The object that absorbs it also gets changed.  It soaks up the energy
in the light wave, and it has a little more internal energy (heat) than it
had before the light hit it.

How much energy is transferred by five 60 watt bulb in 20 minutes
Annette [7]

(5 bulbs)·(60 watts/bulb)·(20 minutes)·(1 joule per sec/watt)·(60 sec/minute)

=  (5·60·20·1·60)  (bulb·watt·minute·joule per sec·sec) / (bulb·watt·minute)

=        360,000 joules
_____________________________________________

Another way:

Five 60-watt bulbs  =  300 watts  =  0.3 kilowatt

20 minutes  =  1/3 hour

              (0.3 kilowatt) · (1/3 hour)  =  0.1 kilowatt-hour
