Sound travels slowest through gas because the atoms in a gas are further apart than the other states of matter.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.

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

pav-90 [236]

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:

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

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 206 electrons and 161 protons. Express your answer using two significant figures.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

-72\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

Explanation:

Both electron and proton have the same amount of charge but signs are opposite , electron contains negative charge and proton contain positive charge

Charge on 1 electron = $-1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge on 206 electron $=-206\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on 1 proton = $-1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge on 161 electron $=-106\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge of the system = $(-206+161)\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

$=-72\times 10^{-19}C$
