Answer:

White light contains seven colors, which are separated by the prism.

White light reacts with chemicals in the air to produce seven colors.

Explanation:

It was first observed by Sir Issac Newton, that when white light is passed through a prism, an elongated, coloured patch of light is obtained on a screen placed behind the prism. The seven colours obtained constitute the spectrum of white light.

In nature, white light is separated into its constituent wavelengths when white light interacts with substances in the atmosphere.

An ordinary flashlight battery has a potential difference of 1.2 V between its positive and negative terminals. How much work mu
Maru [420]

The work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is 1.92×10⁻¹⁹ J.

Given:

Potential difference, V = 1.2 V

Charge on an electron, e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Calculation:

We know that the work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is given as:

W.D = (Charge on electron)×(Potential difference)

       = e × V

       = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)×(1.2 V)

       = 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the work done in bringing the charge from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.

A gas is compressed at constant temperature from a volume of 5.68 L to a volume of 2.35 L by an external pressure of 732 torr. C
Vlada [557]

Answer: The work done in J is 324

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 732 torr = 0.96 atm    (760torr =1atm)

V_1 = initial volume = 5.68 L

V_2 = final volume = 2.35  L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=-0.96atm\times (2.35-5.68)L=3.20L.atm

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

1L.atm=101.33J

So, 3.20L.atm=3.20\times 101.3=324J

The positive sign indicates the work is done on the system

Hence, the work done for the given process is 324 J

A practical rule is that a radioactive nuclide is essentially gone after 10 half-lives. What percentage of the original radioact
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

  • 0.09 % of the original radioactive nucllde its left after 10 half-lives
  • It will take 241,100 years for 10 half-lives of plutonium-239 to pass.

Explanation:

The equation for radioactive decay its:

N ( t) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ -  \frac{t}{\tau}},

where N(t) its quantity of material at time t, N_0 its the initial quantity of material and \tau its the mean lifetime of the radioactive element.

The half-life t_{\frac{1}{2}} its the time at which the quantity of material its the half of the initial value, so, we can find:

N (t_{\frac{1}{2} }) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ -  \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = \frac{N_0}{2}

so:

\ N_0 \ e^{ \ -  \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = \frac{N_0}{2}

e^{ \ -  \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = \frac{1}{2}

-  \frac{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}} \ = - \ ln( 2 )

t_{\frac{1}{2}}\ = \tau ln( 2 )

So, after 10 half-lives, we got:

N ( 10 \  t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ -  \frac{10 \  t_{\frac{1}{2}}}{\tau}}

N ( 10 \  t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ -  \frac{10 \  \tau \ ln( 2 ) }{\tau}}

N ( 10 \  t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ e^{ \ -  10 \  \ ln( 2 ) }

N ( 10 \  t_{\frac{1}{2}}) \ = \ N_0 \ * \ 9.76 * 10^{-4}

So, we got that a 0.09 % of the original radioactive nucllde its left.

Putonioum-239 has a half-life of 24,110 years. So, 10 half-life will take to pass

10 \ * \ 24,110 \ years \ = \ 241,100 \ years

It will take 241,100 years for 10 half-lives of plutonium-239 to pass.
