A)A certain medical machine emits x-rays with a minimum wavelength of 0.024 nm. One day, the machine has an electrical problem a

nd the voltage applied to the x-ray tube decreases to 76% of its normal value. Now what is the minimum x-ray wavelength produced by the machine?
lmin = ___________nm

(b) What is the maximum x-ray energy this machine (with electrical problems) can produce?

Emax =___________ eV

(c) The atomic number of an element is 82. According to the Bohr model, what is the energy of a Ka x-ray photon?

E =_______________ eV

Answer:

(a) 0.032 nm

(b) 39,235 eV

(c) 70,267.8 eV

Explanation:

(a) The energy of a photon can be calculated using:

E = hc/λ                  equation (1)

where:

h = 4.13*10^-15 eV.s

c = 3*10^8 m/s

λ = 0.024*10^-9 m

Thus:

E = (4.13*10^-15)*(3*10^8)/0.024*10^-9 = 51,625 eV

Then we calculate 76% of this estimated energy and determine the new wavelength:

E_{new} = 0.76*51625 = 39,235 eV

Using equation (1) to determine the new wavelength:

λ_{new} = \frac{h*c}{E_{new} }

λ_{new} = (4.13*10^-15)*(3*10^8)/39235 = 3.15*10^-11 m = 0.032 nm

(b) As calculated in part (a), the maximum x-ray energy this machine can produce is E_{new} = 0.76*51625 = 39,235 eV

(c)  The energy of a Ka x-ray photon can be estimated using:

E_{ka} = (10.2 eV)*(Z-1)^{2}

where Z is the atomic number = 84.

E_{ka} = (10.2 eV)*(84-1)^{2} = 70,267.8 eV

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

In a closed energy system, energy is?​
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A closed system can exchange energy but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter.

Hope this helped you!

When a object is at rest, what is it’s speed??
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0   (there is no speed)

Explanation:

If an object is at rest, it is not moving, and it doesn't have a speed, so the speed is zero.
