The electron affinity of thulium has been measured by a technique known as laser photodetachment electron spectroscopy. In this

technique, a gaseous beam of the anions of an element is bombarded with photons from a laser. Electrons from the anion are then ejected and their energies are detected. The incident radiation had a wavelength of 1064 nm, and the ejected electrons were found to have an energy of 0.137 eV. The electron affinity is the difference in energy between the incident photons and the energy of the ejected electrons. Determine the electron affinity of thulium in units of electron volts per atom.

Answer:

ΔE = 1.031 eV

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of the photons using Planck's equation

          E = h f

wavelength and frequency are related

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

let's substitute

         E = h c /λ

let's calculate

         E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1064 10⁻⁹

         E = 1.869 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's reduce to eV

         E = 1.869 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

        E = 1.168 eV

therefore the electron affinity is

         ΔE = E - 0.137

         ΔE = 1.168 - 0.137

         ΔE = 1.031 eV

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda

here we know that

\mu = 1.756

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

\lambda = 675 nm

now we have

2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}

t = 96.1 nm

In a elastic lab what did you change and why?
Vilka [71]

I changed my undershorts.  The elastic on the old ones I put on that day was deteriorated, and it completely failed when I dripped lab coffee on it, causing falldown.

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N

A rock is dropped from a garage roof from rest. the roof is 6.0 m from the ground. determine the velocity of the rock as it hits
Dmitrij [34]

From rest, a rock is dropped from a garage roof. The roof is 6.0 meters above ground level. The rock will reach the earth at a speed of 10.849 meters per second.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  Velocity is a vector quantity.

it is a time-based component. Velocity at any angle is resolved to get its component of x and y-direction.

Given data:

V(Final velocity)=? (m/sec)

h(height)= 6.0 m

u(Initial velocity)=0 m/sec

g(gravitational acceleration)=9.81 m/s²

Newton's third equation of motion:

\rm v_y^2 = u_y^2+ 2gh \\\\\rm v_y^2 = 0+ 2gh\\\\\  v_y= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \ (m/s^2)\times 6.0 (m)} \\\\ v_y=10.849 \ m/sec

Hence, the velocity of the rock as it hits the ground will be 10.849 m/sec.
