Answer:

(a) De-Brogie wavelength is 0.173 nm and frequency is 2.42 x 10^16 Hz

(b) De-Brogie wavelength is 2.875 pm and frequency is 4.8 x 10^16 Hz

Explanation:

(a)

First, we need to find velocity of electron. Since, it is accelerated by electric potential. Therefore,

K.E of electron = (1/2)mv² = (50 eV)(1.6 x 10^-19 J/1 eV)

(1/2)mv² = 8 x 10^(-18) J

Mass of electron = m = 9.1 x 10^(-31) kg

Therefore,

v² = [8 x 10^(-18) J](2)/(9.1 x 10^(-31) kg)

v = √1.75 x 10^13

v = 4.2 x 10^6 m/s

Now, the de Broglie's wavelength is given as:

λ = h/mv

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s

Therefore,

λ = (6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s)/(9.1 x 10^(-31) kg)(4.2 x 10^6 m/s)

λ = 0.173 x 10^(-9) m = 0.173 nm

The frequency is given as:

Frequency = f = v/λ

f = (4.2 x 10^6 m/s)/(0.173 x 10^(-9) m)

f = 2.42 x 10^16 Hz

(b)

First, we need to find velocity of proton. Since, it is accelerated by electric potential. Therefore,

K.E of proton = (1/2)mv² = (100 eV)(1.6 x 10^-19 J/1 eV)

(1/2)mv² = 1.6 x 10^(-17) J

Mass of proton = m = 1.67 x 10^(-27) kg

Therefore,

v² = [1.6 x 10^(-17) J](2)/(1.67 x 10^(-27) kg)

v = √1.916 x 10^10

v = 1.38 x 10^5 m/s

Now, the de Broglie's wavelength is given as:

λ = h/mv

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s

Therefore,

λ = (6.626 x 10^(-34) kg.m²/s)/(1.67 x 10^(-27) kg)(1.38 x 10^5 m/s)

λ = 2.875 x 10^(-12) m = 2.875 pm

The frequency is given as:

Frequency = f = v/λ

f = (1.38 x 10^5 m/s)/(2.875 x 10^(-12) m)

f = 4.8 x 10^16 Hz

Determine the output logic-levels(boolean-levels) for XNOR if the two-inputs are inverted?

1What is the output of 2 Input XNOR gate if both the inputs are same? Explanation: The output of 2 Input XNOR gate is 1 if both the inputs are same. The output of the XNOR gate is 1 if both the inputs are logic 0 or logic 1. This is why they are called as equality detector.

2. Write a Java program that generates a new string by concatenating the reversed substrings of even indexes and odd indexes sep

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String testString = "abscacd";
String evenStr = "";
String oddStr = "";
for(int i=testString.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--){
if(i % 2 == 0){
evenStr += testString.charAt(i);
}
else{
oddStr += testString.charAt(i);
}
}
System.out.println(evenStr + oddStr);
}
}

Explanation:

Firstly, let declare a variable testString to hold an input string "abscacd" (Line 1).

Next create another two String variable, evenStr and oddStr and initialize them with empty string (Line 5-6). These two variables will be used to hold the string at even index and odd index, respectively.

Next, we create a for loop that traverse the characters of the input string from the back by setting initial position index i to testString.length() - 1 (Line 8). Within the for-loop, create if and else block to check if the current index, i is divisible by 2, (i % 2 == 0), use the current i to get the character of the testString and join it with evenStr. Otherwise, join it with oddStr (Line 10 -14).

At last, we print the concatenated evenStr and oddStr (Line 18).

Triss [41]

Answer:

Change in entropy S = 0.061

Second law of thermodynamics is satisfied since there is an increase in entropy

Explanation:

Heat Q = 300 kW

T2 = 24°C = 297 K

T1 = 7°C = 280 K

Change in entropy =

S = Q(1/T1 - 1/T2)

= 300(1/280 - 1/297) = 0.061

There is a positive increase in entropy so the second law is satisfied.

Answer:

touching

Explanation:

The backrest of the seat should be tilted back ever so slightly, and when turning the steering wheel your shoulders should remain in contact with the seat – rather than hunched forward.
