Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion?

Physics
1 answer:
julsineya [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. <u>This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons)</u>.

Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

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

where

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We have that valence electrons poses the three characteristics stated, as

Group 14 (carbon group)  are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Valence electrons of atoms are used to form bonds.

Group 14 (carbon group)  are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Option A,B,C

<h3>Properties of Valence electrons</h3>

All elements in the same group or family have the same number of valence electrons: Yes, this is true as Group 14 (carbon group) are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Valence electrons are the only subatomic particles involved in forming bonds: Yes, Valence electrons of atoms are used to form bonds.

Carbon has 4 valence electrons because it is found in group 14:

True, Group 14 (carbon group)  are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

\theta_{max} =18.38^o

b

New  n_{cladding} =1.491

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

          The refractive index of the core is  n_{core} = 1.497

         The refractive index of the cladding  is   n_{cladding} = 1.421

Generally according to Snell's law

      n_{core} * sin(90- \theta) = n_{cladding} * sin (90)

Where \theta_{max} is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection

      \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]

       \theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]

      \theta_{max} =18.38^o

Given from the question the the largest angle is  5°

Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as

           n_{cladding} = n_{core} * sin (90 - 5)

          n_{cladding} =1.491
