Both matter and light have been demonstrated to exhibit wave-like and particle-like behavior.

Light as a wave: light can diffract & refract

Light as a particle: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering

Matter as a wave: Davisson-Germer experiment

Matter as a particle: find a picture of any kinematics problem in a high school physics textbook

A 1.50-mm-diameter glass sphere has a charge of + 1.60 nC. What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere 1.60 mm above th

saveliy_v [14]

Answer :

Velocity will be $3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given glass surface has a diameter of 1.5 mm

And charge q = 1.60 nC

Radius of electrons orbit r = height of electron above surface + radius of sphere = $=1.6+\frac{1.5}{2}=2.35mm = 0.00235m$

Force on electron is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}$ , here q is charge on sphere and e is charge on electron

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}=\frac{kqe}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.00235^2}=4.172\times 10^{-13}N$

This force work as centripetal force

So $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$4.172\times 10^{-13}=\frac{9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2}{0.00235}$

v = $=0.0328\times 10^{-9}=3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car F, and

Crazy boy [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Normal Force, frictional force, kinematic equations of motion and Newton's second law.

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that the relationship of acceleration, velocity and distance is given by

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

Where,

$v_f =$ Final velocity

$v_i =$ Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

Acceleration can be expressed in terms of the drag coefficient by means of

$F_f = \mu_k (mg) \rightarrow$ Frictional Force

$F = ma \rightarrow$ Force by Newton's second Law

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

$\mu_k =$ Kinetic frictional coefficient

g = Gravity

Equating both equation we have that

$F_f = F$

$\mu_k mg=ma$

$a = \mu_k g$

Therefore,

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ax$

$0=v_i^2+2(\mu_k g)x$

Re-arrange to find x,

$x = \frac{v_i^2}{2(-\mu_k g)}$

The distance traveled by the car depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction, acceleration due to gravity and initial velocity, therefore the three cars will stop at the same distance.

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli

goblinko [34]

Given Information:

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp = (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.
