Matter behaving like a wave rather than like a particle is best illustrated by which phenomenon?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The photoelectric effect is about electrons being ejected from metals when light is shined on metals. The electrons do not behave like waves in the photoelectric effect. Black body radiation is all about the radiation emitted by warm bodies and not about those bodies behaving like waves. The emission spectra of atoms is all about what light is given off by atoms when electrons in those atoms jump down to lower energy levels from higher levels. That also has nothing to do with matter behaving as a wave. Interference is classically defined as the generation of a new wave with an amplitude modulated according to the waves that interfere to form that new wave. Note its emphasis on the wave part.</span>

The muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet is 709 m s−1along the direction of motion. If the bullet weighs 35 g, and the uncertainty

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Uncertainty in position of the bullet is $\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 35 g = 0.035 kg

Velocity of bullet, v = 709 m/s

The uncertainty in momentum is 0.20%. The momentum of the bullet is given by :

$p=mv$

$p=0.035\times 709=24.81\ kg-m/s$

Uncertainty in momentum is,

$\Delta p=0.2\%\ of\ 24.81$

$\Delta p=0.049$

We need to find the uncertainty in position. It can be calculated using Heisenberg uncertainty principal as :

$\Delta p.\Delta x\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta p}$

$\Delta x=\dfrac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 0.049}$

$\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

because water is loosely packed but when it is cold it becomes closely packed in order to form ice and thus the force attraction between them also increase.

Examine the spectra of the four unknown substances shown below. What can you conclude?

NARA [144]

Line spectra are obtained when individual elements are heated using a high-voltage electrical discharge. This heating causes excitation of the element and a subsequent emission of distinct lines of colored light are obtained. Each element has its own unique emission line spectrum; therefore, if any of the tested substances were the same, their spectra would match. However, this is not the case so none of the substances are the same.
