Degenearcy pressure arises when ________.

1 answer:

8 0

Degeneracy pressure arises when sub-atomic particles are packed as tightly as the laws of quantum mechanics allow an object becomes as small as or smaller than Earth.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

Degeneracy pressure is the outcome of quantum degeneracy. As stated by Pauli’s exclusion principle, that two electrons of same quantum number cannot occupy the single shell, this leads to compression of shells.

So when the shells are getting compressed, the pressure will be created in the nucleus due to this compression which will be opposing the compression of space of the subatomic particles.

So the more the sub-atomic particles will be packed tightly, the more degenerate levels will be created leading to more compression of size of the atoms even smaller than Earth. This leads to increase in the degeneracy pressure as the interaction will increase between the nucleus and delocalized electrons on decreasing the size of atoms.

A proton moves at constant velocity in the direction, through a region in which there is an electric field and a magnetic field.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$F_{net}=0$

Explanation:

It is given that, a proton moves at constant velocity, through a region in which there is an electric field and a magnetic field such that,

The electric field is, E = 800 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 0.25 T

We know that the net force in the region of magnetic and electric field is given by Lorentz forces. But here, the proton moves with constant velocity. So, the net force acting on it is 0.

i.e.

$F_{net}=0$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize

nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, $\mu_{g} = 1.367$

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

$tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}$ (1)

where

$\mu_{a}$ = refractive index of glass

$\mu_{g}$ = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

$tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}$

$\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}$

$\mu_{g} = 1.367$

klemol [59]

Answer:

3.62m/s and 2.83m/s

Explanation:

Apply conservation of momentum

For vertical component,

Pfy = Piy

m* Vof (sin38) - m*Vgf (sin52) = 0

Divide through by m

Vof(sin38) - Vgf(sin52) = 0

Vof(sin38) = Vgf(sin52)

Vof (sin38/sin52) = Vgf

0.7813Vof = Vgf

For horizontal component

Pxf= Pxi

m* Vof (cos38) - m*Vgf (cos52) = m*4.6

Divide through by m

Vof(cos38) + Vgf(cos52) = 4.6

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vof(cos38) + 0.7813 Vof(cos52) = 4.6

0.7880Vof + 0.4810Vof = 4.

1.269Vof = 4.6

Vof = 4.6/1.269

Vof = 3.62m/s

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vgf = 0.7813 * 3.62

Vgf = 2.83m/s
