Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

Metallic bonds result from interaction of positively charged metal ions with free valence electrons which now forms an electron cloud around the metal ions. Electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and the electron cloud holds the metal ions together in the metallic bond.

Two protons are released from rest when they are 0.750 {\rm nm} apart.

Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

Given:

m = 1.673 × 10^-27 kg

Q = q = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

r = 0.75 nm

= 0.75 × 10^-9 m

Energy, U = (kQq)/r

Ut = 1/2 mv^2 + 1/2 mv^2

1.673 × 10^-27 × v^2 = (8.99 × 10^9 × (1.602 × 10^-19)^2)/0.75 × 10^-9

v = 1.356 × 10^4 m/s

F = (kQq)/r^2

F = m × a

1.673 × 10^-27 × a = ((8.99 × 10^9 × (1.602 × 10-19)^2)/(0.075 × 10^-9)^2

a = 2.45 × 10^17 m/s^2.

What is the reflectivity of a glass surface (n =1.5) in air (n = 1) at an 45° for (a) S-polarized light and (b) P-polarized ligh

Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) $R_s = 0.092$

b) $R_p = 0.085$

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

$R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2$

using snell's law to calculate θ t

$sin \theta_t = \dfrac{n_1sin\theta_i}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin45^0}{1.5}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$cos \theta_t =\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta_t} = \dfrac{sqrt{7}}{3}$

a) $R_s=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}} \right |^2$

$R_s = 0.092$

b) $R_p=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}-\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}+\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}} \right |^2$

$R_p = 0.085$

What is the magnitude of electrical force of attraction between an copper nucleus (29 protons) and its innermost electron if the

Agata [3.3K]

The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
$Q=29 q= 29 \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C=4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C$
the charge of the electron is
$e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C$
and their separation is
$r=1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
$F=k_e \frac{Qe}{r^2}$
where $k_e$ is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
$F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(4.64 \cdot 10^{-18}C)(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(1.0 \cdot 10^{-12} m)^2}=6.68 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
