Answer:
Statement B would be correct because alpha particles are the most peretrating radioactive particles.
Explanation:
(a)
In a velocity selector, the speed of the beam is related to the magnitude of the electric field and of the magnetic field by the formula:
where
E is the magnitude of the electric field
B is the magnitude of the magnetic field
In this problem, we have
(magnetic field)
(speed of the particles)
Solving the equation for E, we find the electric field:
(b) 3.2 kV
The relationship between electric field and potential difference between the two plates is:
where, in this problem:
is the magnitude of the electric field
is the separation between the plates
Substituting into the equation, we find the potential difference:
To develop this problem we will apply the considerations made through the concept of Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. At first the source is moving towards the observer. Than the perceived frequency at first
Where F is the actual frequency and v is the velocity of the ambulance
Now the source is moving away from the observer.
We are also so told the perceived frequency decreases by 11.9%
Equating,
Solving for V,
