An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of

the electron. (b) Would such an electron be useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment? Address this question by determining the angle at which a first-order diffraction maximum would be found using the same nickel target as Davisson and Germ

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

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

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

Which property of X-rays allows them to enter our bodies and create pictures of our bones and other internal structures?
Degger [83]

Answer:

(A) Their high energy

Explanation:

The higher the energy of the x-ray the more "likely" they will pass through.

The x-ray is electromagnetic energy caused by energy changes in an electron.

X-ray are energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules. That is what reveals the bad or damaged cells in our body.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Magnitude of displacement = 2.07 km

Magnitude of average velocity = 1.17 kmph

Explanation:

Let east represent positive x axis and north represent positive y axis.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west.

1.93 km due wast

           s ₁ = 1.93 i km

1.03 km due south

           s₂ = -1.03 j km

3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west

           s₃ = -3.84 cos 52.8 i + 3.84 sin 52.8 j = -2.32 i + 3.06 j km

Total displacement

          s = s ₁+  s₂+ s₃ = 1.93 i - 1.03 j -2.32 i + 3.06 j = -0.39 i + 2.03 j

  Magnitude of displacement, =\sqrt{(-0.39)^2+2.03^2}=2.07km

Time taken = 1.771 hour

Magnitude of average velocity, =\frac{2.07}{1.771}=1.17km/hr

If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is
klio [65]

If,

d \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

h \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}

=  \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}

= 9 \:  \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}

= 9d

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.
