The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons. This model was known as the 'plum pudding' model.

This theory was then disproved by Ernest Rutherford and the gold foil experiment in 1911, where Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold foil, and noticed that some went through and some bounced back, implying the existence of a positive nucleus.

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom where the electrons were contained within quantized shells that orbited the nucleus. This was because it was impossible for the cloud of negative electrons proposed by Rutherford to exist, as the negative electrons would be drawn to the positive nucleus, and the atom would collapse in on itself.

In 1926, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created a quantum mechanical model of the atom by combining the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.

However the model used today is closest to the Bohr model of the atom, using the quantized shells to contain the electrons.

What is the source of Earth’s magnetic field?
zhuklara [117]

Answer and Explanation:

The main source of earth magnetic field is the metals and iron present in earth crust these metals are mainly found in liquid state in earth crust and we know that whenever there is spinning of these liquid metals then there will magnetic field generate, So the main source of earth magnetic field is the metals present in earth crust.

n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at
Volgvan

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J

Which are characteristics of electromagnetic waves?check all that apply.
emmainna [20.7K]

Correct choices are marked in bold:

travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces  --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces

travel through space at the speed of light  --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

travel only through matter  --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum

travel only through space  --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter

can bend around objects  --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits

move by particles bumping into each other  --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved

move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
