A color television tube generates some X-rays when its electron beam strikes the screen. What is the shortest wavelength of thes

e X-rays, in meters, if a 31 kV potential is used to accelerate the electrons? (Note that TVs have shielding to prevent these X-rays from reaching viewers.)

Answer:  4.0024 x 10^ -11 m or 0.040024 nm

Explanation:

λ = h c/ΔE

λ = wave lenght

h = 6.626 x 10 ^ -34  m² kg /s  = planck constant

ΔE = 31 keV potential ( 1 keV = 1.6021 x 10^-16J)

c = velocity of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

substitute gives

λ  =    <u>6.626 x 10 ^ -34  m² kg /s x 3 x 10⁸ m/s</u>  = 4.0024 x 10^ -11 m

                 31 x 1.6021x10^-16 J

The aqueous humor in a person's eye is exerting a force of 0.242 N on the 1.21 cm2 area of the cornea. What pressure is this in
Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2><em>15.00124mmHg</em></h2>

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the ratio of force applied to an object to its area.

Pressure = Force/Area

Given parameters

Force = 0.242N

Area = 1.21cm²

Required parameters

Pressure = 0.242/1.21

Pressure = 0.2N/cm²

Using the conversion to convert the pressure to mmHg

1N/cm² = 75.0062mmHg

0.2N/cm² = y

y = 0.2 * 75.0062

y = 15.00124mmHg

<em>Hence the pressure in mmHg is 15.00124mmHg</em>

Morgarella [4.7K]
No, aluminum has a density near 2.7 g/cm^3 
<span>7.8 g/cm^3 is near the density of iron (or in the case of a fork, steel).
this is it

1. What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 20 Km/hr to 100 km/hr in 8 seconds?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

10 :)

You have to divide the difference of speed and divide it by the time. So 100-20 would be 80, and if you divide that by 8 it would be 10.

Hope this helps.
