Answer:
The radius is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance beneath the liquid is
The refractive index of the liquid is
Now the critical value is mathematically represented as
substituting values
Using SOHCAHTOA rule we have that
=>
substituting values
Answer:
The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m
Explanation:
The nearest distance is:
(eq. 1)
Where
z = atomic number of gold = 79
e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C
k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²
energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J
At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:
Where
m = 4 mp = mass of proton
Replacing in equation 1
