Answer:

4.63 p.m.

Explanation:

The problem given here can be solved by the Compton effect which is expressed as

\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{h}{m_e c}(1-cos\theta)

here, \lambda  is the initial photon wavelength, \lambda^{'} is the scattered photon wavelength, h is he Planck's constant, m_e is the free electron mass, c is the velocity of light, \theta  is the angle of scattering.

Given that, the scattering angle is, \theta=157^{\circ}

Putting the respective values, we get

\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^{8}  } (1-cos157^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos157^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos157^\circ ) p.m.

Therfore,

\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.64 p.m.

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is \lamda=7.33pm

So,

\lambda^{'}=7.33+4.64=11.97 p.m

From the conservation of momentum,

\vec{P_\lambda}=\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}+\vec{P_e}

here, \vec{P_\lambda} is the initial photon momentum, \vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}} is the final photon momentum and \vec{P_e} is the scattered electron momentum.

Expanding the vector sum, we get

P^2_{e}=P^2_{\lambda}+P^2_{\lambda^{'}}-2P_\lambda P_{\lambda^{'}}cos\theta

Now expressing the momentum in terms of De-Broglie wavelength

P=h/\lambda and putting it in the above equation we get,

\lambda_{e}=\frac{\lambda \lambda^{'}}{\sqrt{\lambda^{2}+\lambda^{2}_{'}-2\lambda \lambda^{'} cos\theta}}

Therfore,

\lambda_{e}=\frac{7.33\times 11.97}{\sqrt{7.33^{2}+11.97^{2}-2\times 7.33\times 11.97\times cos157^\circ }} p.m.\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{87.7401}{18.935} = 4.63 p.m.

This is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron after scattering.

The distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 19 cm . The objective lens has a focal length of 5.5 m
kramer

Answer:

The focal length of eyepiece is 3.68 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 19 cm

Focal length = 5.5 mm

Magnification = 200

Object distance = -25 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of magnification

m=\dfrac{d}{f_{o}}+\dfrac{-25}{f_{0}f_{e}}

Put the value into the formula

f_{e}=\dfrac{19\times(-25)}{.55(-200-\dfrac{19}{.55})}

f_{e}=3.68\ cm

Hence, The focal length of eyepiece is 3.68 cm.

How could the action force of a canoe moving through water be increased?.
BaLLatris [955]
There are several actions that can be used to increase the action force of a canoe that is moving through water. One can increase the rate of striking or strike harder than before with a bigger paddle. Using a lighter canoe can also be helpful for increasing the speed. I hope the answer comes to your help.

A tank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 K and pressure of 1.00 atm.
bekas [8.4K]

To find the temperature it is necessary to use the expression and concepts related to the ideal gas law.

Mathematically it can be defined as

PV=nRT

Where

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

When the number of moles and volume is constant then the expression can be written as

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

Or in practical terms for this exercise depending on the final temperature:

T_2 = \frac{P_2T_1}{P_1}

Our values are given as

T_1 = 400K\\P_1 = 1atm\\P_2 = 2atm

Replacing

T_2 = \frac{(2)(400)}{1}\\T_2 = 800K

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 800K

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4}{2.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1.6m/s^2
