Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.

What is the velocity of a beam of electrons that goes undeflected when passing through perpendicular electric and magnetic field
goldenfox [79]
F = qE + qV × B
where force F, electric field E, velocity V, and magnetic field B are vectors and the × operator is the vector cross product. If the electron remains undeflected, then F = 0 and E = -V × B
which means that |V| = |E| / |B| and the vectors must have the proper geometrical relationship. I therefore get
|V| = 8.8e3 / 3.7e-3
= 2.4e6 m/sec
Acceleration a = V²/r, where r is the radius of curvature.
a = F/m, where m is the mass of an electron,
so qVB/m = V²/r.
Solving for r yields
r = mV/qB
= 9.11e-31 kg * 2.37e6 m/sec / (1.60e-19 coul * 3.7e-3 T)
= 3.65e-3 m

If two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, which of the following
Doss [256]

Answer:

Power

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of doing work with reference to the time spent and the formula is force multiplied by velocity.

In this case, if two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, then it means the velocity in the case is doubled which will also lead to an increase in the Power .
