Answer:

False

Explanation:

From the fact that light is emitted in portion, it does not follow that light ray is discrete in structure.

The way Einstein put it was that if a beer is always sold in pint bottles, that does not mean that beer contain of indivisible pint bottles. Yet experiments in which light knocked electrons out of materials insistently made the point that light is absorbed only in the form of discrete portions. An emitted portion or quantum of light energy retains it's individuality in subsequent events as well.

This concept was first stated by Einstein in 1905. From the heuristic point of view that he developed light is always made up of discrete portions possessing energy and momentum.

a wire with mass per unit length 75 g/m runs horizontally at right angles to a uniform horizontal 0.12 T magnetic field. what am

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The amount of current that must flow through the wire for it to be suspended against gravity by magnetic force = 6.125 A

Explanation:

Force on a wire carrying current in an electric field is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

For this question,

The magnetic force must match the weight of the wire.

F = mg

mg = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

(m/L)g = (B)(I) sin θ

Mass per unit length = 75 g/m = 0.075 kg/m

B = magnetic field = 0.12 T

I = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

θ = angle between wire's current direction and magnetic field = 90°

0.075 × 9.8 = 0.12 × I sin 90°

I = 0.075 × 9.8/0.12 = 6.125 A

Consider steady-state conditions for one-dimensional conduction in a plane wall having a thermal conductivity k = 50 W/m · K and

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

solution:

dT/dx =T2-T1/L

q_x = -k*(dT/dx)

Case (1)

dT/dx= (-20-50)/0.35==> -280 K/m

q_x =-50*(-280)*10^3==>14 kW

Case (2)

dT/dx= (-10+30)/0.35==> 80 K/m

q_x =-50*(80)*10^3==>-4 kW

Case (2)

dT/dx= (-10+30)/0.35==> 80 K/m

q_x =-50*(80)*10^3==>-4 kW

Case (3)

q_x =-50*(160)*10^3==>-8 kW

T2=T1+dT/dx*L=70+160*0.25==> 110° C

Case (4)

q_x =-50*(-80)*10^3==>4 kW

T1=T2-dT/dx*L=40+80*0.25==> 60° C

Case (5)

q_x =-50*(200)*10^3==>-10 kW

T1=T2-dT/dx*L=30-200*0.25==> -20° C

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

For photon energy is given as:

$E = hv$

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

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

$E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}$

$E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})$

E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

$E = m_{0}c^2$

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3 x 10^8 m/s)^2\\$

$E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\$

E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

$E = m_{0}c^2$

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

$E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3 x 10^8 m/s)^2\\$

$E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\$

E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV
