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

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.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

C)The Same

Explanation:

Kinematics equation:

y=v_{oy}*t+1/2*g*t^2

for both cases the initial velocity in the axis Y is the same, equal a zero.

So the relation between the height ant temps is the same for both cases (the horizontal velocity does not play a role)

A car transports its passengers between 3 buildings. It moves from the first building to the second building, 4.76km away, in a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1) a = 6.14 km

2) b = 4.69 km

Explanation:

Let the first building be A, second building be B and third building be C.

Now, bearing of A = 4.76 km in a direction 37° north of east

Bearing of B = 69° west of north

Bearing of C = 28° east of south

Thus if this 3 points form a triangle, we will have the following angles;

Angle at point A = 28 + (90 - 37) = 81°

Angle at point B = 28 + (90 - 69) = 49°

Angle at point C = 180 - (81 + 49) = 50°

Now, the distance between second and third building is "a" which is represented by BC in the triangle attached while the given distance of 4.76 represents side AB. Thus;

Using sine rule, we can find "a".

a/sin 81 = 4.76/sin 50

a = 6.14 km

B) distance between first and third building is AB in the triangle depicted by "b".

Similar to the first problem, we will use sine rule again.

b/sin49 = 4.76/sin 50

b = 4.69 km
