Here is the full question:

A beam of electrons is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 0.400 kV and then passes through a thin slit. When viewed far from the slit, the diffracted beam shows its first diffraction minima at ± 15.1° from the original direction of the beam.

How wide is the slit?

Answer:

0.235 nm

Explanation:

Given that:

The potential difference (V) = 0.400 kV = 400 V

angle  of diffraction (θ) = 15.1°

Using the conservation energy to determine the seed of the electron; we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = eV

Making v the subject of the formula; we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}

where our constants are

m = 9*10^{-31} kg

e = 1.60*10^{-19} C

given potential difference (V) = 0.400 kV = 400 V

substituting our parameters; we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.60*10^{-19}C(400V)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}}

v= 11.90 *10^6ms^{-1

From De broglie wave equation;

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}    --------------Equation(1)

Davisson and Germer Experiment also shows that;

asin \theta=n \lambda

making \lambda the subject of the formula; we have:

\lambda = \frac{asin \theta}{n}  --------------- Equation (2)

Equating equation (1) and (2); we have:

\frac{asin \theta }{n} =\frac{h}{mv}

{asin \theta } =n\frac{h}{mv}

a=\frac{n}{sin \theta}(\frac{h}{mv}  )       -----------  Equation(3)

where;

a = width of the slit

n = order of diffraction

θ = angle of diffraction

Since we were told that when the beam of electrons were viewed from the slit, the diffracted beam shows its first diffraction minima ;

then (n) = first order = 1

where: h = 6.63 *10^{-34} kgm^2s^{-1}

n = 1

m = 9.1*10^{-31}kg

v= 11.90 *10^6ms^{-1

θ  = 15. 1°

Substituting our values into equation (3); we have:

a=\frac{6.63*10^{-34}*(1)}{(9.1*10^{-31})(11.9*10^6)(sin15.1)}

a=2.35*10^{-10}m

Converting m to nm; we have

a=(2.350*10^{-10}m)(\frac{1nm}{10^{-9}m} )

a = 2.35*10^{-1}nm

a = 0.235 nm

∴ the width of the slit = 0.235 nm

I hope that helps alot!

Does a generator start a Direct Current?
lesya [120]
A direct-current (DC) generator is a rotating machine that supplies an electrical output with unidirectional voltage and current. ... The field is produced by direct current in field coils or by permanent magnets on the stator. The output, or armature, windings are placed in slots in the cylindrical iron rotor.

I which types of galaxy are globular clusters most likely to be found?
NemiM [27]
Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

\gamma = 5/3

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

We know that

P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}

P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}

n and v remain same at both side. so we have

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}

P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2 ..............1

let final pressure is P and temp  T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}

P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}

P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3} ..................2

similarly

P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3} .............3

divide 2 equation by 3rd equation

\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}

T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}

thus, temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.
