Non metal atoms gain an electron(s) from another atom which makes them become negatively charged.
They do this to acquire a stable outer shell.

A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

Light of wavelength 425.0 nm in air falls at normal incidence on an oil film that is 850.0 nm thick. The oil is floating on a wa
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

in oil film        λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film    λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a material, its propagation is by a process that we call absorption and reflection,

when light reaches a surface it has a mass much greater than the mass of the photons (m = 0), therefore there is an elastic collision where the frequency does not change, due to the speed of light in the material medium changes, therefore the only possibility is that the wavelength in the material changes, to maintain the relationship

             v = λ f

in the void we have

             c = λ₀ f

we divide the two expression

            c / v = λ₀ / λ

the refractive index is

             

              n = c / v

              n = λ₀ /λ

              λ = λ₀ / n

let's calculate

in oil film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.40

            λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.33

            λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹

those wavelengths are in the ultraviolet

Crystal can ride her bike 10 miles in 2.1 hours. What is her velocity
masha68 [24]

Answer:

v = 4.76 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by her bike, d = 10 miles

The time of her travel, t = 2.1 m/s

The velocity of an object is defined as the distance traveled by the object to the time of travel. Therefore,

                          V = d/t   m/s

                              = 10 / 2.1

                              = 4.76 m/s

Hence, The velocity of her bike is, V = 4.76 m/s

If we're interested in knowing the rate at which light energy is received by a unit of area on a particular surface, we're reall
Ad libitum [116K]

Illluminance is the measurement of photo-metric power. That means, illuminance is the rate of photo-metric flux that is received by a surface per area. It is usually expressed as a unit of W/m^2. Thus, from the choices, the answer we're looking for is illuminance.
