Answer:

Explanation

Assume that in the Stern-Gerlach experiment for neutral silver atoms, the magnetic field has a magnitude of B = 0.21 T

A. To calculate the energy difference in the magnetic moment orientation

∆E = 2μB

For example, any electron's magnetic moment is measured to be 9.284764×10^−24 J/T

Then

μ = 9.284764 × 10^-24 J/T

∆E = 2μB

∆E = 2 × 9.284764 × 10^-24 × 0.21

∆E = 3.8996 × 10^-24 J

Then, to eV

1eV = 1.602 × 10^-19J

∆E = 3.8996 × 10^-24 J × 1eV / 1.602 × 10^-19J

∆E = 2.43 × 10^-5 eV

B. Frequency?

To determine the frequency of radiation hitch would induce the transition between the two states is,

∆E = hf

Where h is plank constant

h = 6.626 × 10-34 Js

Then, f = ∆E / h

f = 3.8996 × 10^-24 / 6.626 × 10^-34

f = 5.885 × 10^9 Hz

f ≈ 5.89 GHz

C. The wavelength of the radiation

From wave equation

v = fλ

In electromagnetic, we deal with speed of light, v = c

And the speed of light in vacuum is

c = 3 × 10^8 m/s

c = fλ

λ = c / f

λ = 3 × 10^8 / 5.885 × 10^9

λ = 0.051 m

λ = 5.1 cm

λ = 51 mm

D. It belongs to the microwave

From table

Micro waves ranges from

•Wavelength 10 to 0.01cm

Then we got λ = 5.1 cm, which is in the range.

•Frequency 3GHz to 3 Thz

Then, we got f ≈ 5.89 GHz, which is in the range

•Energy 10^-5 to 0.01 eV

We got ∆E = 2.43 × 10^-5 eV, which is in the range of the microwave

The value above is in microwave range

Calculate the percentage increase in speed of the cyclist when the power output changes from 200 W to 300 W.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<em>50%</em>

Explanation:

Given

Initial power = 200W

Final power = 300W

Increment = 300 - 200 = 100W

percentage increase = increment/initial power * 100

percentage increase = 100/200 * 100%

percentage increase = 0.5 * 100

percentage increase = 50%

<em>Hence the percentage increase in speed is 50%</em>
