Answer:

λ₁ = 87.5 10⁻¹² m ,  λ₂ =  2.175 10⁻¹⁰ m,    E₂ = 5.8 10³ eV

Explanation:

In this case you can use the law of conservation of energy, all the energy of the electron is converted into energized emitted photons

Let's reduce to the SI system

          E₀ = 20 10³ eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 3.2 10⁻¹⁵ J

          Δλ = 1.30 A = 0.13 nm = 0.13 10⁻⁹ m

          Ef = E₁ + E₂

         E₀ = Ef

         E₀ = E₁ + E₂

The energy can be found with the Planck equation

          E = h f

          c = λ f

          f = c / λ

          E = hc / λ

They indicate that the wavelength of the second photon is

 

           λ₂ =  λ₁ +0.130 10⁻⁹

We replace

           E₀ = hv / λ₁ + hc / ( λ₁ + 0.130 10⁺⁹)

           E₀ / hv = 1 / λ₁ + 1 / ( λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹)

          3.2 10⁻¹⁵ / (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸) = ( λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹ +  λ₁) /  λ₁ ( λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹)

          1.6 10¹⁰ ( λ₁² +0.13 10⁻⁹  λ₁) = 2  λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹

           λ₁² + 0.13 10⁻⁹  λ₁ = 1.25 10⁻¹⁰  λ₁ + 8.125 10⁻²¹

            λ₁² + 0.005 10⁻⁹  λ₁ = 8.125 10⁻²¹

            λ₁² + 5 10⁻¹²  λ₁ - 8.125 10⁻²¹ = 0

Let's solve the second degree equation

            λ₁ = [-5 10⁻¹² ±√((5 10⁻¹²)² + 4 8.125 10⁻²¹)] / 2

    λ₁ = [-5 10⁻¹² ±√(25 10⁻²⁴ +32.5 10⁻²¹)] / 2 = [-5 10⁻¹² ±√ (32525 10⁻²⁴)] / 2

             λ₁ = [-5 10⁻¹² ± 180 10⁻¹²] / 2

            λ₁ = 87.5 10⁻¹² m

             λ₂ = -92.5 10⁻¹² m

We take the positive wavelength

The wavelength of the photons is

            λ₁ = 87.5 10⁻¹² m

            λ₂ =  λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹

             λ₂ = 87.5 10⁻¹² + 0.13 10⁻⁹

             λ₂ = 0.2175 10⁻⁹ m = 2.175 10⁻¹⁰ m

The energy after the first deceleration is

            E₂ = E₀ –E₁

            E₂ = E₀ –hc / λ₁

            E₂ = 3.2 10⁻¹⁵ - 6.63 10⁺³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 87.5 10⁻¹²

            E₂ = 3.2 10⁻¹⁵ - 2.27 10⁻¹⁵

             E₂ = 0.93 10⁻¹⁵ J

             E₂ = 0.93 10⁻¹⁵ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

             E₂ = 5.8 10³ eV

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Alona [7]
The correct answer is option B. i.e. 60 ohm.
The diagram is attached.

Since all the resistances are attached in series.
Hence, the total resistance will be the sum of all resistances.

R_total = R_1+R_2+ R_3
= 10+20+30
= 60 ohms.

Therefore, option c is correct answer.

A wave has a frequency of 450 Hz and a wave length of 00.52 m what is the speed of the wave?
nata0808 [166]
Wave speed is always (frequency) x (wavelength)

                       Speed  =  (450 /sec) x (0.52 m)

                                     =      234 m/sec .

Ann and Bob are carrying a 18.5 kg table that is 2.25 m long. A 8.33 kg box sits on the table 0.750 m from Ann. How much lift fo
IgorC [24]

Answer:

F = 118 N

Explanation:

Assume Ann and Bob lift at their respective ends of the table

Sum moments about Bob's position to zero.

Let F be Ann's upward force

F[2.25] - 18.5(9.80)[2.25 / 2] - 8.33(9.80)[0.750] = 0

F = 117.86133333...

A straw has an outer diameter of 14 mm, inner diameter of 11 mm, and length of 21 cm. It is made of glass with a Young's modulus
tatuchka [14]

Given that,

Outer diameter = 14 mm

Inner diameter = 11 mm

Length = 21 cm

Young's modulus = 68 GPa

Tensile strength = 7 Mpa

(a). We need to calculate the effective spring constant of the straw with respect to elongation

Using formula of effective spring constant

\dfrac{Y}{\Delta l}=\dfrac{YA}{l}

k=\dfrac{YA}{l}

Where, k = effective spring constant

Y= Young's modulus

A = area

l = length

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{68\times10^{9}\times\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.014^2-0.011^2)}{21\times10^{-2}}

k=1.90\times10^{7}\ N/m

(b). Force = 90 N

We need to calculate the stretch the straw

Using formula of stretch

\Delta l=\dfrac{F}{k}

Where, F = force

k = effective spring constant

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=\dfrac{90}{1.90\times10^{7}}

\Delta l=0.0000047\ m

\Delta l=4.7\times10^{-6}\ m

(c). We need to calculate the extend the length of the straw before it breaks

Using formula of extend length

E_{max}=\dfrac{Y\Delta l}{l}

\Delta l=\dfrac{E_{max}l}{Y}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta l=\dfrac{7\times10^6\times21\times10^{-2}}{68\times10^{9}}

\Delta l=0.0000216\ m

\Delta l=0.0216\times10^{-3}\ m

\Delta l=0.0216\ mm

Hence, (a). The effective spring constant of the straw with respect to elongation is 1.90\times10^{7}\ N/m

(b). The stretch the straw is 4.7\times10^{-6}\ m

(c). The extend length of the straw before it breaks is 0.0216 mm.
