What is the shortest-wavelength x-ray radiation in m that can be generated in an x-ray tube with an applied voltage of 93.3 kV?

m (b) Calculate the photon energy in eV eV (c) Explain the relationship of the photon energy to the applied voltage. The maximum photon energy is just the applied voltage times the electron charge. The value of the voltage in volts equals the value of the maximum photon energy in electron volts. The maximum photon energy is just the applied voltage times the electron charge. The value of the voltage in volts equals the inverse of the value of the maximum photon energy in electron volts. The maximum photon energy is just the applied voltage divided by the electron charge. The value of the voltage in volts equals the value of the maximum photon energy in electron volts. The maximum photon energy is just the applied voltage divided by the electron charge. The value of the voltage in volts equals the inverse of the value of the maximum photon energy in electron volts.

(a) 1.33\cdot 10^{-11} m

The x-rays in the tube are emitted as a result of the collisions of electrons (accelerated through the potential difference applied) on the metal target. Therefore, all the energy of the accelerated electron is converted into energy of the emitted photon:

e \Delta V = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where the term on the left is the electric potential energy given by the electron, and the term on the right is the energy of the emitted photon, and where:

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the electron's charge

\Delta V = 93.3 kV = 93300 V is the potential difference

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

c=3.00\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the emitted photon

Solving the formula for \lambda, we find:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{e\Delta V}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(93300)}=1.33\cdot 10^{-11} m

(b) 93300 eV (93.3 keV)

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda=1.33\cdot 10^{-11} m is the wavelength of the photon, calculated previously

Substituting,

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{1.33\cdot 10^{-11}}=1.50\cdot 10^{-14} J

Now if we want to convert into electronvolts, we have to divide by the charge of the electron:

E=\frac{1.50\cdot 10^{-14} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=93300 eV

(c) The following statements are correct:

The maximum photon energy is just the applied voltage times the electron charge. (1)

The value of the voltage in volts equals the value of the maximum photon energy in electron volts.

In fact, we see that statement (1) corresponds to the equation that we wrote in part (a):

e \Delta V = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

While statement (2) is also true, since in part (b) we found that the photon energy is 93.3 keV, while the voltage was 93.3 kV.

h(t) = - 16t2 + 64t + 112 where t is the time in seconds. After how many seconds does the arrow reach it maximum height? Round t
laila [671]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The function of height is given in form of time. For maximum height, we need to use the concept of maxima and minima of differentiation.

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+112

Differentiate with respect to t on both the sides, we get

\frac{dh}{dt}=-32t+64

For maxima and minima, put the value of dh / dt is equal to zero. we get

- 32 t + 64 = 0

t = 2 second

Thus, the arrow reaches at maximum height after 2 seconds.

A boy jumps from rest, straight down from the top of a cliff. He falls halfway down to the water below in 0.866 s. How much time
Iteru [2.4K]
<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.866 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

                      s = 3.68 m

      Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

        Displacement, s  = 7.36 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.

Thepotemich [5.8K]
I know i did part a correctly. heres what i did: momentum is conserved: m1 * u - m2 * u = m2 * v or (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v Also, for an elastic head-on collision, we know that the relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation (from conservation of energy), or, for this problem, 2u = v Then (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * 2u m1 - m2 = 2 * m2 m1 = 3 * m2 m1 is the sphere that remained at rest (hence its absence from the RHS), so m2 = 0.3kg / 3 m2 = 0.1 kg b) this part confuses me, heres what i did (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v (.3kg - .1kg)(2.0m/s) = .1kg * v .4 kg = .1 v v = 4 m/s What my teacher did: (.3g - .1g) * 2.0m/s = (.3g + .1g) * v I understand the left hand side but i dont get the right hand side. Why is m1 added to m2 when m1 is at rest which makes its v = zero?? v = +1.00m/s since the answer is positive, what does that mean? Also, if v was -1.00m/s what would that mean? thanks!
