An element's atomic number is 16. How many electrons would an atom of this element have?

Physics
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]4 years ago

If the atom is neutral, then the number of electrons will ALWAYS be the same as the number of protons (which is the atomic number), so in this case the number of protons is 16, and that make the number of electrons 16

Why does changing the shape of an object have no effect on the density?
iren [92.7K]
Because the object is still made of the same material 
Density is not affected by the weight and shape of an object its affected by how concentrated the atoms are in a given volume

A force of 40 N is applied in a direction perpendicular to the end of a 9 m long bar that pivots about its other end. Find the t
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

360 Nm

Explanation:

Torque: This is the force that tend to cause a body to rotate or twist. The S.I unit of torque is Newton- meter (Nm).

From the question,

The expression of torque is given as

τ = F×d......................... Equation 1

Where, τ = Torque, F = force, d = distance of the bar perpendicular to the force.

Given: F = 40 N, d = 9 m

Substitute into equation 1

τ  = 40(9)

τ  = 360 Nm.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.
e-lub [12.9K]

(a) 4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of the wave in a vacuum (speed of light)

\lambda is the wavelength

In this problem, we have laser light with wavelength

\lambda=632.8 nm=6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m. Substituting into the formula, we find its frequency:

f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m}=4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by:

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 is the original wavelength in a vacuum (approximately equal to that in air)

n is the index of refraction of the medium

In this problem, we have

\lambda_0=632.8 nm

n = 1.48 (index of refraction of glass)

Substituting into the formula,

\lambda=\frac{632.8 nm}{1.48}=427.6 nm

(c) 2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is

v=\frac{c}{n}

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the refractive index of the medium.

Since in this problem n=1.48, we find

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s
