How many photons with 10 ev are required to produce 20 joules of energy?

1 answer:

6 0

One electron Volt (eV) is equal to 1.6 x 10^-19 Joules. Therefore, 10 eV is equal to 1.6 x 10^-18 Joules. In order to produce 20 Joules of energy from 10 eV photons, we would require 20 x 1/(1.6 x 10^-18) = 1.25 x 10^19 particles. This demonstrates that in the world of particle physics, the Joule is a massive energy unit relative to the commonly used electron Volt.

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6

Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

$\lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}$

$1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}$

$v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}$

v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2$

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

The emissivity of an ideal reflector has which of the following values?

Wittaler [7]

Emissivityis a measure of how much thermal radiation a body emits to its environment. On the other hand we have that reflectivity is a measure of how much is reflected, and transmissivity is a measure of how much passes through the object. If a body is required to be ideally reflective to its maximum efficiency, the body should NOT have the property of transmissivity or emissivity. Therefore it should be 0 its emittivity.

Correct answer would be A : ZERO.

Suppose you want to determine the resistance of a resistor that is nominally 100 . You should be able to apply 10 V across the r

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a) For y = 102 mA, R = 98.039 ohms

For y = 97 mA, R = 103.09 ohms

b) Check explanatios for b

Explanation:

Applied voltage, V = 10 V

For the first measurement, current $y_{1} = 102 mA = 0.102 A$

According to ohm's law, V = IR

R = V/I

Here, $I = y_{1}$

$R = \frac{V}{y_{1} } \\R = \frac{10}{0.102} \\R = 98.039 ohms$

For the second measurement, current $y_{2} = 97 mA = 0.097 A$

$R = \frac{V}{y_{2} }$

$R = \frac{10}{0.097} \\R = 103 .09 ohms$

b) $y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} &y_{2} \end{array}\right] ^{T}$

$y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} \\y_{2} \end{array}\right]$

$y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3} \end{array}\right]$

A linear equation is of the form y = Gx

The nominal value of the resistance = 100 ohms

$x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2} \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-5} \\97*10^{-5} \end{array}\right]$

Projectiles that strike objects are good examples of inelastic collisions. A 0.1 kg nail driven by a gas powered nail driver col

Ratling [72]

In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
$p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s$
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find $v_f$ , the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
$v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}= 0.48 m/s$

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
$p_i = mv_i = p_f$
Rearranging the formula, we can find $v_i$ , the velocity of the nail before the collision:
$v_i = \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s$
