When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *

2 answers:

+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.

Answer:

The correct answer is answer choice D. +1

Explanation:

Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.

A double-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. If the separation between the slits decreases, what happens to

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Explanation:

In a double-slit diffraction pattern, the angular position of the nth-maximum in the diffraction patter (measured with respect to the central maximum) is given by

$sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{d}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular position

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

d is the separation between the slits

In this problem, the separation between the slits decreases: this means that d in the formula decreases. As we see, the value of $sin \theta$ (and so, also $\theta$ ) is inversely proportional to d: so, if the d decreases, then the angular separation between the fringes increases.

So, the correct answer is

The distance between interference fringes increases.

What keeps a red giant from collapsing under its own

svet-max [94.6K]

I'd say that because of gravity and the material made the red giant it's holding all the material together to be in one piece years and years to come.

Hope that helped! <3 ^-^

Is gravity a field force

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Yes, it is because gravity is a force of attraction to the center of our planet, Earth. If we drop a pencil, the pencil will go on the floor. Gravity is pulling the pencil down.

If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be 4E. 2E. 12E. 14E.

ANEK [815]

The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

looking at the formula

energy $E = MC^2$

also, $c = \lambda \times \nu$

hence it is clear from above that energy is directly proportional to the square of the wavelength.

hence, The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.
It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of the wavelength. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to represent wavelength.
The term wavelength is occasionally used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.
