Find the minimum kinetic energy in MeV necessary for an α particle to touch a 39 19 K nucleus that is initially at rest, assumin

g only Coulomb forces are present. Assume that the α particle has a radius of 2.0 fm, and the potassium nucleus of 3.7 fm, and take into account the masses of both particles.

Answer:

KE = 9.6MeV

Explanation:

Given the relationships we understand that,

q_1 = 19e, q_2 = 2e

The Potential at point p, is given by the following formula

V_ {p} = \frac {Kq_1} {r}

According to the graphic designed, you have,

V_ {p} = \frac {Kq_1} {(r_1 + r_2)}

V_ {p} = \frac {(9 * 10 ^ 9) (19 * 1.6 * 10 ^ {- 15})} {(3.7 + 2) * 10 ^{- 15}}}

V_ {p} = 4.8 * 10 ^ 6V

The kinetic energy of the particle would be given by

KE = q_2 * V_ {p} = 2e * 4.8 * 10 ^ 6V

KE = 9.6MeV

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

m = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

q = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

\Delta V =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

v = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}

r = Radius of the path followed by ion

B = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m
