An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well. What is the longest wavelength of light that the electron can a
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 74 N/m

Mass of electron m= 9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Speed of light c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f =\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Where, k= spring constant

m = mass of the particle

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{9.11\times10^{-31}}}

f=1.434\times10^{15}\ Hz

We need to calculate the longest wavelength that the electron  can absorb

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

Where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda =\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.434\times10^{15}}

\lambda=2.092\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=209\ nm

Hence, The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force)
salantis [7]

Answer:

<em>The velocity with which the student goes down the bottom of glide is 12.48m/s.</em>

Explanation:

The Non conservative force is defined as a force which do not store energy or get he energy dissipate the energy from the system as the system progress with the motion.

Given are

   <em>  mass of the student 73 kg</em>

<em>      height of water glide 11.8 m</em>

<em>      work done as -5.5*10³ J</em>

Have to find speed at which the student goes down the glide.

According to<em> Law of Conservation of energy</em>,

          K.E =P.E+Work Done

 mv²/2=mgh +W

Rearranging the above eqn for v

v = √2(gh+W/m)

Substituting values,

V =  12.48 m/s.

<em>The velocity with which the student goes down the bottom of glide is 12.48m/s.</em>

Explain how two dangerous elements can form a compound that is edible
blsea [12.9K]

Two dangerous elements can form a compound that is edible known as "NaCl salt".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sodium and chlorine are two very dangerous elements. As the reaction between sodium and water is extremely violent and chlorine is a very toxic gas. But combination of these elements result into a harmless product with unique properties like it is edible and dissolves without exploding in water.

In sodium chloride reaction the atoms of sodium interact with chlorine atoms. Sodium will donate an electron (by becoming positively charged) to acceptor chlorine (which become negatively charged) as given in following reaction

N a+C l_{2} \rightarrow N a C l

As sodium and chlorine are  very keen to achieve noble gas configuration by completing an octet on donating and accepting an electron respectively.
