Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

ers is 1000 W/m2, the same as the intensity of sunlight at the surface of the Earth.
Required:
a. What is the pressure on an atom if light from the tweezers is totally absorbed? ?
b. If this pressure were exerted on a tritium atom, what would be its acceleration?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

If it is totally absorbed pressure is calculated as follows .

Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .

= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²

b ) weight of tritium atom

=  3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

acceleration = force / mass

=    3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷

= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²

= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²

A steady electric current flows through a wire. If 9.0 C of charge passes a particular spot in the wire in a time period of 2.0
defon

1) Current: 4.5 A

2) Time taken: 4.7 s

Explanation:

1)

The electric current intensity is defined as the rate at which charge flows in a conductor; mathematically:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing a given point in a time t

For the wire in this problem, we have

q = 9.0 C is the amount of charge

t = 2.0 s is the time interval

Solving for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{9.0}{2.0}=4.5 A

2)

To solve this problem, we can use again the same formula

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing a given point in a time t

In this problem, we have:

I = 3.0 A (current)

q = 14.0 C (charge)

Therefore, the time taken for the charge to move past a particular spot in the wire is

t=\frac{q}{I}=\frac{14.0}{3.0}=4.7 s

Elaborate on the reason why heating water up will increase the rate of dissolving for a solute.
Harrizon [31]
<span> D) <span> <span> <span> The average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the solution also increases with increasing temperature. This increase in kinetic energy allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by intermolecular attractions. </span></span></span></span>
