<h2>
Answer: By the double slit experiment applied to electrons</h2>
The French physicist Louis De Broglie proposed the existence of matter waves, that is to say that <u>all matter has a wave associated with it.</u>
On the other hand, Heisenberg enunciated the uncertainty principle, which postulates that the fact that <u>each particle has a wave associated with i</u>t, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine its position and speed at the same time.
These postulations were tested with the double slit experiment (formerly applied to photons) applied to electrons, and the result was: electrons (as well as the other particles different from the photons) are able to behave as waves.
Answer:
47 kJoules (kJ)
Explanation:
Potential enegy on Earth is given by the relationship:
P.E. = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, and h is height. Since we are given metric values, we will look for an answer that is consistent with Joules, the metric measure of energy. 1 Joule is defined as 1 kg*m^2/s^2, so we wnat units of kg, m, and sec.
We are given:
m = 95kg
h = 50 meters
Earth's gravity, g is 9.8 m/s^2
Enter the data:
P.E. = mgh
P.E. = (95kg)(9.8m/s^2)(50m)
P.E. = 46550 kg*m^2/s^2 or 46550 Joules(J)
Since we only have 2 sig figs, and since 1kJ =- 1000J
We can state the potential energy is 47kJ.
Spiderman has 47kJ of potential energy for the start of any dive back to Earth. [He needed that same amount of energy to reach that height, but we don't know from where it came. A jump, helicopter, beamed up by Scotty, or tossed up by Doctor Octopus.]
Sound needs a medium to propagate through and this medium which is moves through is the air. The colder the temperature is, the less excited (meaning kinetic energy) the air particles will be meaning that the sound wave will travel slower. In the sahara desert, since the temperatures are warmer, and more excited, the sound will propagate faster through the air.
*Note that sound waves rely on vibration to move and if the air is hotter the molecules in the air are vibrate more than compared to lower temperatures.

Explanation:
Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053 m.
Part (a):
According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges and respectively is given by
where,
- = Coulomb's constant =
- = distance of separation between the charges.
For the given system,
The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom,
The charge on the electron,
These two are separated by the distance,
Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by
Part (b):
The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses and respectively is given by
where,
- = Universal Gravitational constant =
- = distance of separation between the masses.
For the given system,
The mass of proton,
The mass of the electron,
Distance between the two,
Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by
The ratio :
