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

To make the next delivery, Sam-I-Am goes 45 mi/h for 2 hours. How far did he travel in that time?
andrezito [222]

Hello =D

This problem is about cinematic

So

V = 45 mi/h

t = 2 h

Then

V= X/t

X = V*t

Then

X = (45)*(2)

X = 90 mi

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its maximum displacement from
Mrac [35]

Answer:

C) True. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The simple harmonic movement is given by

        x = A cos wt

Speed

        v = - A w sin wt

At the point of maximum displacement x = A

       A = A cos wt

      cos wt = 1

      wt = 0

We replace the speed

       v = -Aw sin 0 = A w

Speed ​​is maximum

Let's review the claims

A) False. Speed ​​is zero

B) False. It can be determined

C) True. Agree with our result

D) False. When one is maximum the other is minimum

Choose what colors are absorbed when white light hits a red apple. (Pick all that apply.)
astra-53 [7]
A red apple absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light
is the only light left to bounce off of the apple toward our eyes. 
(This is a big part of the reason that we call it a "red" apple.)

Here's how the various items on the list make out when they hit the apple:
