Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.

Physics

Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago

De broglie wavelength, \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}, where h is the Planck's constant,  m is the mass and v is the velocity.

h = 6.63*10^{-34}

Mass of hydrogen atom,  m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

   Wavelength \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m

1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm

So  the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm

Ghella [55]

Answer : B.  0 m/s∧2

Now we know that velocity = distance/ time

And acceleration = velocity/time.


From the graph we see that at the time interval 2 secs,the distance travelled is 10 m. Hence the velocity(v1) =10/2 = 5m/s.

From the graph we see that at the time interval 5 secs,the distance travelled is 25 m. Hence the velocity (v2) =25/5 = 5m/s.

Now acceleceration between the time interval of 2 ad 5 secs is calculated as

(v1-v2)/t2-t1 = (5-5)/(5-2) = 0 m/s∧2

What is inertia and how is it related to the newton's first law of motion?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

Explanation:

Some sort of a local field, maybe not our A field, is really the cause of inertia. When you push on an object a gravitational disturbance goes propagating off into either the past or the future. Out there in the past or future the disturbance makes the distant matter in the universe wiggle.

A puddle of water has a thin film of gasoline floating on it. A beam of light is shining perpendicular on the film. If the wavel
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Destructive and constructive interference. The constructive interference in tin film is given by

2t = (m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{\lambda}{n}

Where,

t = thickness

\lambda=Wavelenght

m= is an integer

n= film/refractive index

We use this equaton because phase change is only present for gasoline air interface, but not at the gasoline-water interface. <em>The minimum t only would be when the value of m=0 then</em>

2nt = \frac{\lambda}{2}

t = \frac{560nm}{4*1-4}

t = 100nm

Therefore the correct answer is D. The minimum thickness of the film to see ab right reflection is 100nm

Stella [2.4K]
Among the options, the two astronomers who supported the Earth-centered system were Tycho Brahe and Ptolemy.

Both astronomers developed in fact a system where the Sun was located at the center, while the Earth and the other planets were orbiting around the Sun.
