In Millikan's oil-drop experiment, one looks ata small oil drop held motionless between two plates. Take the voltage betwee the

plates to be 2033 V, and the plate separation to be 2.00 cm. The oil drop (of density 0.81 g/cm3) has a diameter of 3.8x10^6m. Find the charge on the drop, in terms of electron units. You need to round your answer to the nearest integer

Answer:

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Explanation:

Electric field due to plates

Ef = V/d  

Ef = 2033 V / (2.0 * 10^-2 m )

Ef = 101650 V/m

So, we can write  

Ef * q = m*g

q = m*g / E f

The mass can be equal using the density and the volume so:

m = ρ * v

The volume can be find as:

v = 2.298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³

q =  ρ * v * g / Ef

q =  81 x 10 ³ kg/ m³ * 2.2298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³ * 9.8 m/s² / 101650 V/m

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Coherent monochromatic light of wavelength l passes through a narrow slit of width a, and a diffraction pattern is observed on a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

λ = a

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise that is described by the expression

          a sin θ = m λ

         sin θ  = m λ/ a

the first zero of the diffraction occurs for m = 1

        sin θ  = λ / a

 

angles are generally very small and are measured in radians

         sin θ  = θ  = y / x

we substitute

         \frac{y}{x}  = \frac{\lambda}{a}

the width of the central maximum is twice the distance to zero

         w = 2y

in the exercise indicate that this width is equal to twice the distance to the screen (2x)

          W = 2x

           2y = 2x

we substitute

          1 = λ/ a

          λ = a

we see that the width of the slit is equal to the wavelength used.

A 50-cm3 block of wood is floating on water, and a 50-cm3 chunk of iron is totally submerged in the water. Which one has the gre
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Iron

Explanation:

The buoyant force equals to the weight of water being displaced by the object.

Since, the volume of both iron and wood is equal and the wood is not completely submerged, but the iron block is completely submerged i.e more volume of the water is being displaced by the iron block.

Hence, the buoyant force is more on the iron.

ASK YOUR TEACHER A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 51.5-gram mass is attach
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.114 kg or 114 g

Explanation:

From the diagram attaches,

Taking the moment about the fulcrum,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Wd = W'd'

Where W = weight of the mass, W' = weight of the meter rule, d = distance of the mass from the fulcrum, d' = distance of the meter rule.

make W'  the subject of the equation

W' = Wd/d'................ Equation 1

Given: W = mg = 0.0515(9.8) = 0.5047 N, d = (39.2-16) = 23.2 cm, d' = (49.7-39.2) = 10.5 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = 0.5047(23.2)/10.5

W' = 1.115 N.

But,

m' = W'/g

m' = 1.115/9.8

m' = 0.114 kg

m' = 114 g
