Answer:

<h3>Nuclear fusion. The particular type of fusion depends on the temperature, which is dictated by the mass and age of the star in question. For stars on the main sequence, the primary source is fusion hydrogen into helium via what is called the p-p (proton-proton) chain. For higher mass stars, they fuse hydrogen into helium primarily via the CNO (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) cycle. As stars age off the main sequence, they can burn additional elements (such as helium, oxygen, silicone, etc), but these stages are much shorter.</h3>

Answer: 1. halve

2. halve

3. double

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

E= energy

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

Thus as wavelength and energy have inverse realation, when wavelength will halve , energy will double.

2. The between wavenumber and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=h\times c\times \bar{\nu}$

E= energy

$\bar{\nu}$ $\nubar$ = wavenumber of the wave

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

Thus as wavenumber and energy have direct relation, when wavenumber will halve , energy will be halved.

3. The relationship between energy and frequency of the wave follows the equation:

$E=h\times \nu$

where

E = energy

h = Planck's constant

$\nu$ = frequency of the wave

Thus as frequency and energy have direct realation, when frequency will double , energy will double.

What is the highest energy to which doubly ionized helium atoms (alpha particles) can be accelerated in a DC accelerator with 3

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Highest energy will be equal to $9.6\times 10^{-13}J$

Explanation:

Charged on doubly ionized helium atom $q=2e=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C=3.2\times 10^{-19}C$

It is accelerated with maximum voltage of 3 MV

So voltage $V=3\times 10^6volt$

Now energy is given by $E=qV=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3\times 10^6=9.6\times 10^{-13}J$

So highest energy will be equal to $9.6\times 10^{-13}J$
