Suppose a radio signal (light) travels from Earth and through space at a speed of 3 × 10^8/ (this is the speed of light in vacuu

m). How far (in meters) into space did the signal travel during the first 10 minutes?

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that

s=vt here v is the speed and s is distance covered by the signals

given data

v=3*10^8

t=10 min we have to convert it into seconds

1 minute=60 seconds

so

10 minutes =10*60/1 =600 seconds

now putting the value of v and t we can find the value of s

s=vt

s=3*10^8*600

s=1.8*10^11m

i hope this will help you

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

An ammeter with a resistance of 5.0 ohm is connected in series with a 3.0V cell and a lamp rated at 300 mA, 3V. Calculate the cu
Alex

Answer:

I = 0.2 A

Explanation:

Lamp is rated at 300 mA

I_lamp = 0.3 A

Voltage is; V = 3V

Thus; Resistance is given by;

R = V/I

R = 3/0.3

R = 10 ohms

Now, since the ammeter of 5 ohms is connected in series with the lamp. Thus equivalent resistance;

R_eq = 10 + 5

R_eq = 15 ohms

Ammeter current will be;

I = V/R_eq

I = 3/15

I = 0.2 A

17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.
