Calculate the radiative and collisional energy losses (in keV/micron) for a 1.9 MeV electron in lead and determine the rad./coll

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

During an energy transfer, the collision loss for an electron can be determined by using the formula:

$Q = \dfrac{4mME }{(m+M)^2}$

However; from the total stopping power & power loss of the electron;

$\dfrac{radiational \ energy \ loss}{colisional \ energy \ loss } = \dfrac{ZE}{800}$

where;

Z = atomic no. for lead = 82

E = 1.9 MeV

∴

radiational energy loss = collisional energy loss $=\dfrac{82 \times 1.9}{800}$

= 0.19475

Normally, the traditional lead shielding in its pure shape contains high brittleness. However, the functionality of this carbon group chemical element is useful for protection because it has an excessive density.

Initially, the conventional lead protection however reduces the mild clarity at the same moment as plexiglass is useful for light transmittance and readability.

Moreover, the traditional lead with its high density and thickness reduces observation features, in the meantime, the plexiglass is a whole lot higher than the stated.

Finally, plexiglass contains a high dimensional balance with an excessive dielectric constant.

A microwave oven operating at 1.22 × 108 nm is used to heat 165 mL of water (roughly the volume of a teacup) from 23.0°C to 100.

ANTONII [103]

Answer: The number of photons are $3.7\times 10^8$

Explanation:

We are given:

Wavelength of microwave = $1.22\times 10^8nm=0.122m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^9nm$ )

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{0.122m}\\\\E=1.63\times 10^{-24}J$

Now, calculating the energy of the photon with 88.3 % efficiency, we get:

$E=1.63\times 10^{-24}\times \frac{88.3}{100}=1.44\times 10^{-24}J$

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 165 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{165mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=165g$

To calculate the amount of energy of photons to raise the temperature from 23°C to 100°C, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where,

m = mass of water = 165 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=100^oC-23^oC=77^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=165g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times 77^oC\\\\q=53157.72J$

This energy is the amount of energy for 'n' number of photons.

To calculate the number of photons, we divide the total energy by energy of one photon, we get:

$n=\frac{q}{E}$

q = 53127.72 J

E = $1.44\times 10^{-24}J$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{53157.72J}{1.44\times 10^{-24}J}=3.7\times 10^{28}$

Hence, the number of photons are $3.7\times 10^8$

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.

netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)
