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!

Doug is doing work. without knowing exactly what he is doing, which can be said about the work he is doing?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Energy is transferred.

<h3>What is Work?</h3>

Every time labour is performed, energy is transmitted, as shown by the definition of work in physics. Work is the result of the displacement's magnitude and the component of force acting in that direction.

What are 3 types of work done?

  • Positive
  • Negative
  • Zero work done.

Work is the result of force and distance, or the force exerted over a specific distance. In other words, Work = Force x Distance.

Joules are used to measure work.

1. Positive Work: Positive work is when a force moves an object in that direction. The motion of a ball descending toward the earth while it is displaced in the direction of the force of gravity is an illustration of this type of labour.

2. Negative Work: The work is said to be negative if the force and the displacement are in the opposing directions. For instance, if a ball is thrown high, its displacement will also be upwards, while the force from the earth's gravity will be downward.

3. Zero Work: When the force and displacement directions are parallel to one another, there is no work done on the item by the force.

Two long, straight, parallel wires 7.2 cm apart carry currents of equal magnitude I. They repel each other with a force per unit
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

current I = 38 mA

Explanation:

given data

distance r = 7.2 cm

repel each other force per unit length \frac{F}{l} = 4.2 nN/m

solution

we know 2  wire is parallel and when current flow through these wire they exert force each other due to magnetic field

and current I(1) = I(2)   ................1

so

\frac{F}{l} = \frac{\mu _o}{2\pi } \times \frac{I(1) \times I(2)}{r}     ..................2

put here value

4.2 × 10^{-9} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}{2\pi } \times \frac{I^2}{7.2\times 10^{-2}}    

solve it we get

I = 0.038884 A

current I = 38 mA

How proton ,neutron and electrons are alike
insens350 [35]
Protons and neutrons are both inside the nuclei of the atom while the electrons are spinning around. they also make up the mass of the atom. 
protons are positively charged while neutrons are neutral. 
Protons and electrons are alike in the number while they are opposites in the charge because protons are positive while electrons are negative. Their quantity makes up the atomic number for an element.

An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.
