Answer:

1.7 J

Explanation:

The energy carried by a single photon is given by

E=hf

where h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon.

The photon of our exercise has a frequency of f=1.7 \cdot 10^{17} Hz, therefore its energy is

E=hf=(6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(1.7 \cdot 10^{17} Hz)=1.1 \cdot 10^{-16} J

Write down the relation between energy and power

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Energy is what makes change happen and can be transferred form one object to another. Energy can also be transformed from one form to another. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. It is not energy but is often confused with energy.

An electron is projected with an initial speed vi = 4.60 × 105 m/s directly toward a very distant proton that is at rest. Becaus

frutty [35]

Answer:

$2.99\times 10^{-19}\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$u$ = initial velocity of the electron = $4.60\times 10^5\ m/s$

$v$ = final velocity of the electron = $3u$

$x$ = initial position of the electron from the proton = very distant = $\infty$

<u>Assume:</u>

$m$ = mass of an electron = $9.1\times10^{-31}\ kg$

$e$ = magnitude of charge on an electron = $1.6\times10^{-19}\ C$

$p$ = magnitude of charge on an proton = $1.6\times10^{-19}\ C$

$k$ = Boltzmann constant = $9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2$

$y$ = final position of the electron from the proton

$\Delta K$ = change in kinetic energy of the electron

$W$ = work done by the electrostatic force

$F$ = electrostatic force

$r$ = instantaneous distance of the electron from the proton

Let us first calculate the work done by the electrostatic force.

$W=\int Fdr\\\Rightarrow W = \int \dfrac{kep}{r^2}dr\\\Rightarrow W = kep\int \dfrac{1}{r^2}dr\\\Rightarrow W = kep\left | \dfrac{1}{r} \right |_{y}^{x}\\\Rightarrow W = kep\left ( \dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{y} \right )\\\Rightarrow W = kep\left ( \dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{\infty} \right )\\\Rightarrow W =\dfrac{kep}{x}$

Using the principle of the work-energy theorem,

As only the electrostatic force is assumed to act between the two charges, the kinetic energy change of the electron will be equal to the work done by the electrostatic force on the electron due to proton.

$\therefore \Delta K = W\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kep}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m((3u)^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kep}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(8u^2)= \dfrac{kep}{x}\\\Rightarrow x= \dfrac{2kep}{8mu^2}\\\Rightarrow x= \dfrac{2\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times10^{-19}\times 1.6\times10^{-19}}{8\times 9.1\times10^{-31}\times (4.60\times 10^5)^2}\\\Rightarrow x=2.99\times 10^{-10}\ m\leq$

Hence, the electron is at a distance of $2.99\times 10^{-10}\ m$ when the electron instantaneously has speed of three times the initial speed.
