Electrons with energy of 25 eV have a wavelength of ~0.25 nm. If we send these electrons through the same two slits (d = 0.16 mm

) we use to produce a visible light interference pattern what is the spacing (in micrometer) between maxima on a screen 3.3 m away?

Answer:

The spacing is 5.15 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electron with energy = 25 eV

Wave length = 0.25 nm

Separation d= 0.16 mm

Distance D=3.3 m

We need to calculate the spacing

Using formula of width

\beta=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

\beta=\dfrac{0.25\times10^{-9}\times3.3}{0.16\times10^{-3}}

\beta=5.15\times10^{-6}\ m

\beta=5.15\ \mu m

Hence, The spacing is 5.15 μm.

What is the best description of a mechanical wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

Under what circumstances can energy level transitions occur?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

Explanation:

Energy level transition occur when light rays strikes a metal surface to emit electron from the surface, a term known as photoelectric effect. This amount of electron emitted from the surface depends on the speed of light ray striking the metal surface.

Energy transition therefore occurs due to the amount of kinetic energy gained by the electrons. The electrons with higher kinetic energy are excited to the higher level (excited state) compare to the electron with low kinetic energy (this energy are energy in the ground state)

Which of these is most likely to produce radioactive waves?
Ivan
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A. A nuclear power plant</u> produces radioactive wave.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A plant in which a nuclear reactor is used as a source to produce heat is known as nuclear power plant. The heat formed by the reactor is used to form steam which can be used to drive turbines to produce electricity.

The coolant in reactor gets heated by the fission process taking place in the reactor. It is a cyclic process where the steam is condensed and reverted back. A nuclear power plant in active condition produce a small amount of radiation which can be sensed within a radius of 50 miles.

An angle marking is like a meter stick marking. The marking of 1.2m on a meter stick only means an object is 1.2m long if the ob
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The angle of bend = 20°

Explanation:

Since the question describes that the angle marking is similar to the metre stick marking.

The length of the object when it begins at 0 meters on the meter rule

= 1.2 m

The length of the meter stick when it begins at 0.2 m on the meter rule

= 1.0 m

The difference in length of the object based on the markings

= 1.2 - 1.0 = 0.2 m

If the green marking is on 223°, i.e. θ₂ = 223°

and the straight marking is on 253°, i.e.  θ₁ = 253°

The angle of bend =  θ₁ -  θ₂

The angle of bend = 253° - 223°

The angle of bend = 20°

What is the resultant displacement of a dog looking for its bone in the yard, if the dog first heads 55° north of west for 10.0
labwork [276]

Answer:

c = 13.5 m

Explanation:

from the attached diagram, we can apply the cosine rule to get the resultant displacement (c) where

c = \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-2.a.b.cosθ}

  • from the diagram β = 55 degrees because they are alternate angles

         θ + β = 180  (sum of angles on a straight line )

         θ + 55 = 180

         θ = 180 - 55

        θ = 125 degrees

  • c = \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-2.a.b.cosθ}

            c = \sqrt{5^{2}+10^{2}-2.5.10.cos125}

           c =\sqrt{25+100-(-57.4)}

           c = 13.5 m
