​What is the wavelength of an electron that has a kinetic energy of 0.50 MeV (relativistic)?

Physics

Answer:

The wavelength of electron is 6.99\times 10^{-22}\ m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron is, E=0.5\ MeV=0.5\times 10^6\ eV

We need to find the wavelength of this electron. It can be calculated using the concept of DE-broglie wavelength as :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE} }

h is Plank's constant

m is the mass of electron

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\ J-s}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 0.5\times 10^6\ eV} }        

\lambda=6.99\times 10^{-22}\ m

So, the wavelength of electron is 6.99\times 10^{-22}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

0.06\Omega/m

Explanation:

Firstly, when you measure the voltage across the battery, you get the emf,

E = 13.0 V

In order to proceed we have to assume that the voltmeter offers no loading effect, which is a valid assumption since it has a very high resistance.

Secondly, the wires must be uniform. So the resistance per unit length is constant (say z). Now, even though the ammeter has very little resistance it cannot be ignored as it must be of comparable value/magnitude when compared to the wires. This is can seen in the two cases when currents were measured. Following Ohm's law and the resistance of a length of wire being proportional to it's length, we should have gotten half the current when measuring with the 40 m wire with respect to the 20 m wire (I=\frac{V}{R}). But this is not the case.

Let the resistance of the ammeter be r

Hence, using Ohm's law we get the following 2 equations:

\frac{13}{20z+r} =7.6   .......(1)

\frac{13}{40z+r} =4.5     ......(2)

Substituting the value of r from (2) in (1), we have,

13=152z+7.6\times\frac{13-180z}{4.5}

which simplifying gives us, z=0.0589\Omega/m\approx0.06\Omega/m (which is our required solution)

putting the value of z in either (1) or (2) gives us, r = 0.5325 \Omega

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 22 and its mass number is 96?
Dovator [93]
1. The mass number is protons + neutrons = mass number. In this case, we have protons + neutron = 164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43 + neutrons = 164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get neutrons = 121.
2.  = 4

3. The number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons. 

A=mass number: 
Z=atomic number (= number of protons)
N=number of neutrons:

A=Z+N

If the number of protons in the nucleus is equal the number of neutrons , we would have an even mass number; because Z=N=x; then A=x+x=2x  (this is always an even number) but  23 is an odd number, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons.
