What does it mean to say that the protons give the atom is identity

Physics

Salsk061 [2.6K]3 years ago
7 0

The number of protons tells you what element an atom is. Just knowing the number of neutrons/mass number does not tell you what element an atom is, since atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers. But all atoms with the same number of protons, are also always of the same element.

Hence, we can identify an atom by the number of protons it has

Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?
Bad White [126]
The law of conservation of energy is:

-- Energy can't be created or destroyed.

-- Energy can't just appear out of nowhere.  If you suddenly have
more energy, then the 'extra' energy had to come from somewhere.

-- Energy can't just disappear.  If you suddenly have less energy,
then the 'missing' energy had to go somewhere.
________________________________________

There are also conservation laws for mass and electric charge.
They say exactly the same thing.  Just write 'mass' or 'charge'
in the sentences up above, in place of the word 'energy'.
________________________________________

And now I can tell you that the conservation laws for energy and mass
are actually one single law ... the conservation of mass/energy.  That's
because we discovered about 100 years ago that mass can convert
into energy, and energy can convert into mass, and it's the total of BOTH
of them that gets conserved (can't be created or destroyed).

How much mass makes how much energy ?

The answer is        E = m c²  .

An organ pipe open at both ends has two successive harmonics with frequencies of 220 Hz and 240 Hz. What is the length of the pi
Harman [31]

Answer:

The  length is  l  =  8.6 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are f_1 =  220 \ Hz ,  f_2  =  240 \  Hz

   The speed of sound in the air is  v_s  =  343 \  m/s

Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as

     f_n  =  \frac{n  v  }{2l}

Here  n defines  the position of the harmonics

Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as

    220  =  \frac{n v}{2l}

and  

     240  =  \frac{(n+1) v}{2l}

So

   \frac{(n + 1 ) v}{2l} - \frac{n v}{2l}  =  240-220

=>  \frac{v}{2l}  =  20

=>   l  =  8.6 \  m
