The magnitude​ R, measured on the Richter​ scale, of an earthquake of intensity I is defined as Requalslog StartFraction Upper I

Over Upper I 0 EndFraction ​, where Upper I 0 is a minimum intensity used for comparison. If the intensity of an earthquake was 10 Superscript 6.08times Upper I0​, what was the magnitude on the Richter​ scale?

Answer:

R = 6.8

Explanation:

Given data:

Richter scaleR = log(\frac{I}{I_o})

where R - magnitude of earthquake of Richter scale

I - quake's intensity =  10^{6.8} \times I_o

I_o - minimum intensity earthquake

Plugging all information in the equation to get Richter's scale

R = log(\frac{10^{6.8} \times I_o}{I_o})

R = log(10^{6.8})

R = 6.8

The charge within a small volume dv is dq=ρdv. the integral of ρdv over a cylinder of length l is the total charge q=λl within t
azamat
The volume of the shell that you described would be:
dV=2L\pi r dr
Now we can rewrite the given integral:
\lambda L=\int\rho dV=L\rho\int2\pi r dr \\ \lambda L =L\rho \pi r^2\\ \rho=\frac{\lambda}{\pi r^2}
I have attached the picture explaining how we got the formula for the volume.
On the picture, I marked the rectangle. You can of this rectangle as the base, and the height would be the circumference of the cylinder.

Pure silicon (EBG = 1.1 eV) is used as a photon detector. An incoming photon can strike the surface and excite electrons from th
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Complete Question:

A.Compute no of electrons you expect to count if silicon detector is struck with a 1.04 Mev gamma ray produced in a decay of  136 Cs nucleus.

b.Explain counting of electrons is more precise as the detector is cooled well below room temperature

Answer:

a.

Gamma ray energy =Cs^{135}=1.04 Mev

photon strikes the surface excite the electrons to move from valence band to conduction band where then counted by detector.

energy gap between valence band and conduction band in case of silicon = 1.1 eV

The minimum amount of energy required is 1.1 ev

minimum number of electron counted is = \frac{1.04 Mev}{1.1eV/electrom}

=0.945\times10^{6}

b.

In the case of semi conductors

forbidden energy gap in inversely proportional to temperature

with decrease in temperature forbidden energy gap increases,hence electrons jumping from valence band to conduction band decreases and hence counting by detector decreases

Which list places the layers of the sun in the correct order from innermost to outermost?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Convective zone, chromosphere, corona

Explanation:

A star like the Sun is divided into different layers according to pressure, density, temperature, and the mechanics of energy transport (in the case of the convective zone and radiative zone) for each of those layers.

In stars, there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to their own mass and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in their core, that is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

That leads to different layers according with the properties described above.    

       

Near the core, in the Sun, there is a radiative zone since radiation is the best mechanism of energy transport in this area. Then, in the next layer, it can be found that convection becomes a more efficient way of energy transport that radiation due to the fact that the inner part of the convection zone is at a greater temperature than the outer one.    

Finally, there is the atmosphere of the Sun (chromosphere, photosphere, and corona).

                                       

Key terms:        

Convection: Transport of energy due to different in density and temperature of a material (liquid, gas).

An experimental 1500-kg car travels at a constant speed of 22 m/s around a circular test track that is 80 m across. What is the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

363000 J or 363 kJ

Explanation:

Because the car is not rotating, it has no rotational kinetic energy. Its kinetic energy is then simply

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times1500\times22^2 = 363000 \text{ J}
