How can describe electromagnetic waves with mechanical waves?

<span>Mechanical waves are mostly longitudinal waves. It means the constituents of the naterial through which the wave is moving are oscillating in the same direction as the wave itself.

In an electromagnetic wave the motion of the electric and magnetic fields is transverse to the direction of propogation of the wave. So the E, B and k vectors are perpendicular to each other. Also unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel. It can travel in completely empty space.

The matter wave or de Broglie wave comes from the wave particle duality of a quantum mechanical object such as an electron or an atom etc. This wave can also travel in empty space. Due to the strange nature of quantum mechanics, a quantum object manifests itself as a particle or a wave depending solely on the type of measurement or observation. So for example if one lets a stream of single electrons to fall upon 2 closely spaced slits then each electron would behave as a wave and lead to interference fringes on the screen behind the slits.</span>

Stannum has a body centered tetragonal with lattice constant, a = b = 5.83A and c = 3.18A. If the atomic radius is 0.145 nm, det
Fed [463]

Answer:

the atomic packing factor of Sn is 0.24

Explanation:

a = b = 5.83A and c = 3.18A.

Volume of unit cell = a²c

= (5.83)² *  3.18 * 10⁻²⁴ cm³

= 1.08 * 10⁻²²cm³

Volume of atoms =

2 \times  \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

(∴ BCC, effective number of atom is 2)

Volume of atoms =

2 * \frac{4}{3} *3.14*(0.145*10^-^7cm)^3

= 2.55*10⁻²³cm³

\text {Atomic packing factor}=\frac{\text {volume occupied by atom}}{\text {volume of unit cell }}

=\frac{2.55*10^-^2^3}{1.08*10^-^2^2} \\\\=0.24

<h3>therefore, the atomic packing factor of Sn is 0.24</h3>

Describe what does happen to the electrons when metal atoms are bonded together.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions. Metals are shiny.

Explanation: Hope this helped!
