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

Airida [17]

Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

W=0

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

\Delta U=W-\Delta E

Put the value into the formula

\Delta U=0-147

\Delta U=-147\ J

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves (see Chapter 24). Because of this transfer, the entropy
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1.  Decreases,

2.   Increases,

3.   Increases

Explanation:

The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.

Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is
charle [14.2K]
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.

The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.
