Answer:

Part a)

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}$

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

$E = Bc$

$E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)$

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)$

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

$P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

Describe how Rutherford's experiments changed the accepted scientific model of the atom.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

Answer:

1)

When a charge is in motion in a magnetic field, the charge experiences a force of magnitude

$F=qvB sin \theta$

where here:

For the proton in this problem:

$q=1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the proton

v = 300 m/s is the speed of the proton

B = 19 T is the magnetic field

$\theta=65^{\circ}$ is the angle between the directions of v and B

So the force is

$F=(1.602\cdot 10^{-19})(300)(19)(sin 65^{\circ})=8.28\cdot 10^{-16} N$

2)

The magnetic field produced by a bar magnet has field lines going from the North pole towards the South Pole.

The density of the field lines at any point tells how strong is the magnetic field at that point.

If we observe the field lines around a magnet, we observe that:

- The density of field lines is higher near the Poles

- The density of field lines is lower far from the Poles

Therefore, this means that the magnetic field of a magnet is stronger near the North and South Pole.

3)

The right hand rule gives the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.

It can be applied as follows:

- Direction of index finger = direction of motion of the charge

- Direction of middle finger = direction of magnetic field

- Direction of thumb = direction of the force (for a negative charge, the direction must be reversed)

In this problem:

- Direction of motion = to the right (index finger)

- Direction of field = downward (middle finger)

- Direction of force = into the screen (thumb)

4)

The radius of a particle moving in a magnetic field is given by:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

where here we have:

$m=6.64\cdot 10^{-22} kg$ is the mass of the alpha particle

$v=2155 m/s$ is the speed of the alpha particle

$q=2\cdot 1.602\cdot 10^{-19}=3.204\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the alpha particle

B = 12.2 T is the strength of the magnetic field

Substituting, we find:

$r=\frac{(6.64\cdot 10^{-22})(2155)}{(3.204\cdot 10^{-19})(12.2)}=0.366 m$

5)

The cyclotron frequency of a charged particle in circular motion in a magnetic field is:

$f=\frac{qB}{2\pi m}$

where here:

$q=1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of the electron

B = 0.0045 T is the strength of the magnetic field

$m=9.31\cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron

Substituting, we find:

$f=\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19})(0.0045)}{2\pi (9.31\cdot 10^{-31})}=1.23\cdot 10^8 Hz$

6)

When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, its path has a helical shape, because it is the composition of two motions:

1- A uniform motion in a certain direction

2- A circular motion in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field

The second motion is due to the presence of the magnetic force. However, we know that the direction of the magnetic force depends on the sign of the charge: when the sign of the charge is changed, the direction of the force is reversed.

Therefore in this case, when the particle gains the opposite charge, the circular motion 2) changes sign, so the path will remains helical, but it reverses direction.

7)

The electromotive force induced in a conducting loop due to electromagnetic induction is given by Faraday-Newmann-Lenz:

$\epsilon=-\frac{N\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}$

where

N is the number of turns in the loop

$\Delta \Phi$ is the change in magnetic flux through the loop

$\Delta t$ is the time elapsed

From the formula, we see that the emf is induced in the loop (and so, a current is also induced) only if $\Delta \Phi \neq 0$ , which means only if there is a change in magnetic flux through the loop: this occurs if the magnetic field is changing, or if the area of the loop is changing, or if the angle between the loop and the field is changing.

8)

The flux is calculated as

$\Phi = BA sin \theta$

where

B = 5.5 T is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the coil

$\theta=18^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the field and the plane of the loop

Here the loop is rectangular with lenght 15 cm and width 8 cm, so the area is

$A=(0.15 m)(0.08 m)=0.012 m^2$

So the flux is

$\Phi = (5.5)(0.012)(sin 18^{\circ})=0.021 Wb$

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2$

Since $M_2 = 2m_2$ and $r = R/3$

$\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5$

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

what is the necessary condition within the hydrogen atom for balmer line photons to be absorbed by the hydrogen atom

luda_lava [24]

Explanation :

When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, the energy of atom gets changed.

If a photon gets absorbed, the electron will move to higher energy levels and then fall back to the lower energy levels. Then each time a photon will be absorbed whose energy is given by difference between the initial and final energy levels i.e

In Balmer series, the transition is from higher energy levels to n = 2.

So, the necessary condition for Balmer series is that the electron should be at first excited state or n = 2 level as shown in figure.
