Why does the quantum mechanical description of many-electron atoms make it difficult to define a precise atomic radius?

Physics
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

<span>Atoms and ions, at least within the quantum mechanical model do not have boundaries that are sharply defined at which the electron distribution becomes zero. When this occurs it can be very difficult to measure an atomic radius. The distance between the electrons in quantum mechanics is not set and would be problematic in determining the precise radius.</span>

Sound is a type of _____ wave.
saul85 [17]
Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.

If a conducting loop of radius 10 cm is onboard an instrument on Jupiter at 45 degree latitude, and is rotating with a frequency
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a)  fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V,  b) I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A, c)    P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

Explanation:

This exercise is about Faraday's law

         fem = - \frac{ d \Phi_B}{dt}

where the magnetic flux is

        Ф = B x A

the bold are vectors

        A = π r²

we assume that the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area is zero

         fem = - B π 2r dr/dt = - 2π B r v

linear and angular velocity are related

        v = w r

        w = 2π f

        v = 2π f r

we substitute

        fem = - 2π B r (2π f r)

        fem = -4π² B f r²

For the magnetic field of Jupiter we use the equatorial field B = 428 10⁻⁶T

we reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

       f = 2 rev / s (2π rad / 1 rev) = 4π Hz

we calculate

       fem = - 4π² 428 10⁻⁶ 4π 0.10²

       fem = - 16π³ 428 10⁻⁶ 0.010

       fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V

for the current let's use Ohm's law

        V = I R

        I = V / R

         I = -2.1514 10⁻⁴ / 0.00336

         I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A

Electric power is

        P = V I

        P = 2.1514 10⁻⁴ 64.0 10⁻³

        P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

Susan is quite nearsighted; without her glasses, her far point is 34 cm and her near point is 17 cm . Her glasses allow her to v
butalik [34]

Answer:

u=34cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Far point is V=34 cm

Near point is u=17 cm

Therefore

Focal Length

f=-34cm

Generally the equation for the Lens is mathematically given by

\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-34}-\frac{1}{-17}

u=34cm
