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)

<u>λ = 0.173 x 10^(-9) m = 0.173 nm</u>

The frequency is given as:

Frequency = f = v/λ

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

<u>f = 2.42 x 10^16 Hz</u>

(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)

<u>λ = 2.875 x 10^(-12) m = 2.875 pm</u>

The frequency is given as:

Frequency = f = v/λ

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

<u>f = 4.8 x 10^16 Hz</u>

qwelly [4]

Answer:

90

Explanation:

mean is basically taking the sum of all numbers and then dividing the sum with the number of all given numbers..

here, the mean is 9, total numbers are 10.. so the sum will be 9 multiplied by 10, that is 90.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

13.4 mm

Explanation:

Given data :

Load amplitude ( F )  = 22,000 N

factor of safety ( N )= 2.0

Take ( Fatigue limit stress amplitude for this alloy ) б = 310 MPa

<u>calculate the minimum allowable bar diameter to ensure that fatigue failure will not occur</u>

minimum allowable bar diameter = 13.4 * 10^-3 m ≈ 13.4 mm
