Answer:

y = 6

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Given equation:

y = 2x + 10

And supposing; x = -2

Unknown:

y = ?

Solution:

We are going to solve this problem by substitution;

y = 2x + 10

since x = -2; input this into the equation to solve for y;

y = 2(-2) + 10 = -4 + 10 = 6

The value of y = 6

When a burning stick of increase is moved fast in a circle a circle of red light is seen.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.

Rank the wavelengths of the following quantum particles from the largest to the smallest. If any have equal wavelengths, display

goldfiish [28.3K]

The wavelengths of the following quantum particles from the largest to the smallest is (d) > (a) = (e) > (b) > (c)

De Broglie proposed that because light has both wave and particle properties, matter exhibits both wave and particle properties. This property has been explained as the dual behavior of matter.
From his observations, de Broglie derived the relationship between the wavelength and momentum of matter. This relationship is known as de Broglie's relationship.

De Broglie's relationship is given by $\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$ .

This can be written as $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$ .....(1) where λ is known as de Broglie wavelength and p is momentum , h = Plank’s constant .

As we know that mass of proton is greater than electron and photon .

(a)For photon , the momentum is given by $p=\frac{E}{c}$ ...(2) where c is the speed is the speed of light .

Putting E = 3eV in equation (2) , we get

$p=\frac{3\times 1.6\times10^-^1^9}{3\times 10^8} \\p=1.6\times10^-^2^7Js/m$

Putting this value of p in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}}{1.6\times10^{-27}}\\\lambda=4.13\times10^{-7}$

(b) As we know that kinetic energy is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\2K.E = mv^2\\2K.E\times m = m^2v^2\\2K.E\times m = (mv)^2\\2K.E\times m = p^2\\\\\sqrt{2K.E\times m }=p$ ...(3)

Where mass of electron is $9.1\times10^-^3^1 kg$ .

Putting K.E = 3eV in equation (3) , we get

$\sqrt{2K.E\times m }=p\\p=\sqrt{2\times3\times1.6\times10^{-19} \times 9.31\times10^{-31} }\\p=\sqrt{89.376\times10^{-50}} \\p=9.45\times10^{-25}Js/m$

Putting this value of p in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}}{9.45\times10^{-25}}\\\lambda=0.7005\times10^{-9}$

$\sqrt{2K.E\times m }=p\\p=\sqrt{2\times3\times1.6\times10^{-19} \times 1.67\times10^{-27} }\\p=\sqrt{16.032\times10^{-46}} \\p=4.003\times10^{-23}Js/m$
