Answer:

Explanation:

Given

rate of interest= 8%

For continuously compounded interest

$A=Pe^{rt}$

Where A=amount

P=Principal

r=rate of interest

t=time

$2P=Pe^{0.08t}$

$2=e^{0.08t}$

taking log both sides

$\ln 2=0.08 t$

$t=\frac{\ln 2}{0.08}$

t=8.66 yr

(b)Equivalent annual interest

$2=(1+i)^t$

$2=(1+i)^{8.66}$

$2^{0.1154}=1+i$

$i+1=1.0832$

i=0.0832

8.32 %

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 5.0×10^−10 m from one another (at the corners

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

$U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}$

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

$U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}$

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

$U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}$

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

$U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}$

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J

As per the question the wavelength of spectral line of the neutral hydrogen atom is 21 cm.

Spectral line of hydrogen atom will be observed when an electron will jump from higher excited to the ground state. If E is the energy of the ground state and E' is the energy of the higher excited state,the energy emitted when electron will jump from higher excited to ground state is E'-E.

As per Planck's quantum theory -

$hf =E'-E$

Where f is the frequency of emitted radiation and h is the Planck's constant.Actually this energy emitted is also electromagnetic in nature. We know that all the electromagnetic radiation will move with the same velocity which is equal to the velocity of light.

The velocity of light c= 3×10^8 m/s.Hence the velocity of wave corresponding to this spectral line is 3×10^8 m/s.

We know that velocity of a wave is the product of frequency and wavelength of that corresponding wave. Mathematically we can write it as-

$v=\lambda f$

[ $here \lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave ]

It is given that wavelength =21 cm=0.21 m

The frequency is calculated as -

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

$=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

$=\frac{3*10^{8} m/s }{0.21 m}$

$=14.2857*10^{8} s^{-1}$

Hence the antenna will be tuned to a frequency of 14.2857×10^8 Hz

Here Hertz[ Hz] is the unit of frequency.

An atom of gadolinium has an atomic number of 64 and a mass number of 154. how many electrons, protons, and neutrons does it con

Svetllana [295]

No. of protons = atomic number = 64
no. of neutrons = mass no. - no. of protons= 154 -64 = 90
no. of electrons = no. of protons = 64
