In scientific notation, if the exponent of 10 is positive, the number is very very large. In the metric system, very large numbers are expressed in megameters (Mm) or gigameters (Gm). Gigameters is equal to 10⁹ meters. So, in SI prefix, that would be equal to 150 Gm. In kilometers, that would be equal to:
1.5×10¹¹ m * (1 km/1000 m) = 1.5×10⁸ km
Answer:
Ng = 0.893 N, Ne = 0.107N
Explanation:
Number of particles in Ground state = Ng
Number of particles in Excited state = Ne
Ne/Ng = e^{(-ΔE)/kt}
Since excited state is 3 fold degenerate
Ne/Ng =3 x e^{(-ΔE)/kt}
ΔE = Energy difference between ground and excited states = 0.25eV
T = 960 K
Constant k = 8.617 x 10^-5 eV/K
Ne/Ng = 3 x e^{-0.25/(8.617x10^-5) x 960}
= 3 x e^(-3.188645)
= 3 x 0.0412 = 0.1237 ≅ 0.12
Ne = 0.12 Ng
but Ne + Ng = N, where is N is total number of particles, substituting Ne into equation we get,
Ng(1 + 0.12) = N
Ng = N/1.12 = 0.893N
and Ne = 0.12 x 0.893 N = 0.107 N
There could be many different comparison features that would
lead to an observation of similarity or dis-similarity.
A mirror might be said to be similar to a convex lens if it is round,
or if it has a curved surface, or if it is made of glass.
