20.4 years is 20.4/10.2 = 2 half-life cycles, which means a quarter of the starting mass or 15.2 g will remain after this time.

What does it mean when white light is diffracted and at a particular location the color seen is blue? Please use 2 content relat
Brilliant_brown [7]

When white light is diffracted and blue color is seen is due to the absorbance of wavelength of all other color except blue.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The white light diffracts into rainbow colors which are the 7 colors present in form of VIBGYOR.
  • VIBGYOR is the violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red.
  • When the blue color is seen denotes the shortest wavelength being reflected and all other being absorbed at the specified location.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength 270 nm strikes a metal whose work function is 2.3 eV.What is the shortest de Broglie wavelength
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of ultraviolet light, λ = 270 nm

work function of the metal, φ = 2.3 eV = 2.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the ultraviolet light is given by;

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\E = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34} )(3*10^{8}) }{270*10^{-9} }\\\\E = 7.362 * 10^{-19} \ J

The energy of the incident light is related to kinetic energy of the electron and work function of the metal by the following equation;

E = φ  + K.E

K.E = E - φ

K.E = (7.362 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) - (3.685 x 10⁻¹⁹ J )

K.E = 3.677 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

mv² = 2K.E

velocity of the electron is given by;

V = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} }\\\\V =  \sqrt{\frac{2(3.677*10^{-19}) }{9.1*10^{-31} } }\\\\V = 8.99*10^{5}  \ m/s

the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons is given by;

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\\ \\\lambda = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} }{(9.1*10^{-31})( 8.99*10^{5} )}\\\\\lambda = 8.10*10^{-10} \ m\\\\\lambda = 0.81 \ nm

Therefore, the shortest de Broglie wavelength for the electrons that are produced as photoelectrons is 0.81 nm

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T,  by

\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

v = \omega A

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah

v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}

h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}
