If we decrease the size of a quantum dot that contains an electron, what happens to the energy levels?

Physics

Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago

We will solve this problem using the direct concept related to band gap energy, that is, a band gap is the distance between the valence band of electrons and the conduction band, i. e, the energy range in a solid where no electron states (Electronic state) can exist Mathematically can be described as,

E_n = \frac{h^2n^2}{8mcR^2}

Where,

h = Planck's constant

n = Energy level

mc = Effective mass of the point charge

R = Size of the particle

As you can see the energy is inversely proportional to the size of the particle:

E_n \propto \frac{1}{R^2}

Therefore if the size is decreased, the amount of energy is increased.

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight
EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium
Softa [21]
Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

CaHeK987 [17]
The price of coast to coast membership in united states could lie anywhere between $2,000 to $ 5,000
Unless you're a frequent user of this type of event, i think it would be economically more efficient if you pay the resort on one-day price

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.
