Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.
Answer:
λ = 482.05 nm
Explanation:
The diffraction phenomenon and the diffraction grating is described by the expression
d sin θ = m λ
where d is the distance between two consecutive slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer representing the order of diffraction
in this case they indicate the distance between slits, the angle and the order of diffraction
λ = 
d sin θ / m
let's calculate
λ = 1.00 10⁻⁶ sin 74.6 / 2
λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m
Let's reduce to nm
λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1 m)
λ = 482.05 nm
Answer:
(a) 1462.38 m/s
(b) 2068.13 m/s
Explanation:
(a)
The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:
K.E = (3/2)KT
where,
K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k
K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K
T = absolute temperature of atoms
The K.E is also given as:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
Comparing both equations:
(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT
v² = 3KT/m
v = √[3KT/m]
where,
m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?
Therefore,
v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]
<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>
(b)
For double temperature:
T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K
all other data remains same:
v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]
<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>
<u>Answer:</u>
<h2>
All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2>
</h2>
Nevertheless, they have some differences:
1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.
2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate
3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.
4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.
5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field
6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves
7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>
