The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental

x rays use photons with energies of about 25 {\rm keV}. The energies used for x-ray microtomography, a process that allows repeated imaging in single planes at varying depths within the sample, is 2.5 times greater.
What are the wavelengths of the x rays used for these two purposes? answer in m
\lambda_{\rm dental}
\lambda_{\rm microtomography}

A) 5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is

E=25 keV = 25,000 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=4\cdot 10^{-15} J

The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck constant

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4\cdot 10^{-15}J}=5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

B) 2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is

E=2.5 \cdot (4\cdot 10^{-15}J)=1\cdot 10^{-14} J

And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1\cdot 10^{-14}J}=2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 42 N

Part b)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

F = 159.7 N

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

mg - T = ma

for uniform cylinder we will have

TR = I\alpha

so we have

T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})

T = \frac{1}{2}Ma

now we have

mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a

a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}

a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}

a = 7 m/s^2

now we have

T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}

T = 42 N

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)

v_f = 11.8 m/s

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

v_f - v_i = at

11.8 - 0 = 7 t

t = 1.7 s

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

F = T + Mg

F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)

F = 159.7 N

the maximum intensity levels of a trumpet, trombone, and a bass drum, each at a distance of 3m are 94 dB, 107dB, and 113dB respe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

β = 114 db

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibles is

          β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_{o}}

in most cases Io is the hearing threshold 1 10-12 W / cm²

let's calculate the intensity of each instrument

            I / I₀ = 10 (β / 10)

            I = I₀ 10 (β / 10)

trumpet

            I1 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (94/10)

            I1 = 2.51 10⁻³ / cm²

Thrombus

           I2 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (107/10)

           I2 = 5.01 10-2 W / cm²

low

           I3 =1 1-12    (113/10) W/cm²

            I3 = 1,995 10-1 W / cm²

when we place the three instruments together their sounds reinforce

           I_total = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

           I_ttoal = 2.51 10-3 + 5.01 10-2 + ​​1.995 10-1

           I_total = 0.00251 + 0.0501 + 0.1995

           I_total = 0.25211 W / cm²

let's bring this amount to the SI system

         β = 10 log (0.25211 / 1 10⁻¹²)

           β = 114 db
