A diode vacuum tube consists of a cathode and an anode spaced 5-mm apart. If 300 V are applied across the plates. What is the ve

Answer:

Explanation:

There is electric field between the plates whose value is given by the following expression

electric field E =  V /d where V is potential between the plates and d is distance between them

E = 300 / 5 x 10⁻³

=  60 x 10³ N/c

Force on electron = q E where q is charge on the electron

F = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ X 60 X 10³ = 96 X 10⁻¹⁶ N.

Acceleration a = force / mass

a = 96 x 10⁻¹⁶/ mass  = 96 x 10⁻¹⁶ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

= 10.55 x 10¹⁵ m / s²

For midway , distance travelled

s =  2.5 x 10⁻³ m

s      =  1\2 a t²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a\\ } }

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times2.5\times10^{-3}}{ 10.55\times10^{15}}

t = .474 x 10⁻¹⁸ s

For striking the plate time is calculated as follows

t = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times5\times10^{-3}}{ 10.55\times10^{15}}[/tex]

t = 0.67 x 10⁻¹⁸ s

Diverging lens

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of lens  = -2.0D

Unknown:

Focal length  = ?

Solution:

The power of lens is the reciprocal of the focal length;

   P  = \frac{1}{f}

where  f is the focal length

 f  = \frac{1}{P}   = -\frac{1}{2}

The lens is a diverging lens

For when white light is passed through a diffraction grating, the color closest to the center bright spot corresponds toa. Yello
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Option e. Blue/Violet

Explanation:

We know that when white light passes through a diffraction grating it spits into a band of seven colors or spectrum which includes the color in the order VIBGYOR that stands for Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red respectively.

Red light has the longest wavelength and is least scattered whereas Violet light with the shortest wavelength is the one to get most scattered and as we move far from bright spot at the center, there is an increase in the wavelength of light, thus the color that corresponds to the closest one is Violet with the shortest wavelength in the band.

If it requires 3.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 2.1 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Work done = 13605.44

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For elongation of 2.1 cm (0.021 m) work done by the spring is 3.0 J

The relation between Energy (U) and the elongation (s) is given as:

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2   ................(1)

where,

k is the spring constant

on substituting the valeus in the above equation, we get

3.0 = \frac{1}{2}k\times0.021^2

or

k = 13605.44 N/m

now

for the elongation x = 2.1 + 4.1 = 6.2 cm = 0.062 m

using the equation 1, we have

U = \frac{1}{2}\times13605.44\times (0.062)^2

or

U = 26.149 J

Also,

Work done = change in energy

or

W = 26.149 - 3.0 = 23.149 J
