A sodium atom will absorb light with a wavelength near 589 nm if the light is within 10 MHz of the resonant frequency. The atomi

c mass of sodium is 23. (i) Calculate the number of "yellow" photons of wavelength 2 = 589 nm that must be absorbed to stop a sodium atom initially at room temperature (V-600 m/s). [7 marks] (ii) What is the minimum time needed to cool a sodium atom?

Answer:

i)20369 photons

ii) 40 ps

Explanation:

Momentum of one Sodium atom:

P=m*v =600m/s*23amu*\frac{1 kg}{6.02*10^{23}amu}\\P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s

In other to stop it, it must absorb the same momentum in photons:

P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s=n_{photons}*\frac{h_{planck}}{\lambda}\\=n*\frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{589*10^{-9}} \\==>n=20369 photons

Now, for the minimun time, we use the speed of light and the wavelength. For the n photons:

t=n*T=n*\frac{\lambda}{c} =20369*\frac{589nm}{3*10^{8}m/s}=4*10^{-11} second=40 ps

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

v_x = 11.78 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

v = 12 units

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

v_x = v cos\theta

v_x = 12 cos11

v_x = 11.78 m/s

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in vacuum? the refractive ind
alexdok [17]
We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42

distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at 1.00 × 10² rev/min is switched off. Assume the wheel has a constant nega
ololo11 [35]

An electric engine turning a workshop sanding rotation at 1.00 × 10² rev/min is switched off. Take the wheel includes a regular negative angular acceleration of volume 2.00 rad/s². 5.25 moments long it takes the grinding rotation to control.

<h3>What is negative angular acceleration?</h3>
  • A particle that has a negative angular velocity rotates counterclockwise.
  • Negative angular acceleration () is a "push" that is hence counterclockwise.
  • The body will speed up or slow down depending on whether and have the same sign (and eventually go in reverse).
  • For instance, when an object rotating counterclockwise slows down, acceleration would be negative.
  • If a rotating body's angular speed is seen to grow in a clockwise direction and decrease in a counterclockwise direction, it is given a negative sign.
  • It is known that a change in the linear acceleration correlates to a change in the linear velocity.

Let t be the time taken to stop.

ω = 0 rad/s

Use the first equation of motion for rotational motion

ω = ωo + α t

0 = 10.5 - 2 x t

t = 5.25 second
