Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a) $v = c \cdot 0.04 = 1.2\cdot 10^{7} m/s$

b) $v = c \cdot 0.71 = 2.1\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

c) $v = c \cdot 0.994 = 2.97\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

d) $v = c \cdot 0.999 = 2.997\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

e) $v = c \cdot 0.9999 = 2.999\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

Explanation:

At that energies, the speed of proton is in the relativistic theory field, so we need to use the relativistic kinetic energy equation.

$KE=mc^{2}(\gamma -1) = mc^{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^{2}}} -1)$ (1)

Here β = v/c, when v is the speed of the particle and c is the speed of light in vacuum.

Let's solve (1) for β.

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{KE}{mc^{2}}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

We can write the mass of a proton in MeV/c².

$m_{p}=938.28 MeV/c^{2}$

Now we can calculate the speed in each stage.

a) Cockcroft-Walton (750 keV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{0.75 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.04$

$v = c \cdot 0.04 = 1.2\cdot 10^{7} m/s$

b) Linac (400 MeV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{400 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.71$

$v = c \cdot 0.71 = 2.1\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

c) Booster (8 GeV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{8000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.994$

$v = c \cdot 0.994 = 2.97\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

d) Main ring or injector (150 Gev)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{150000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.999$

$v = c \cdot 0.999 = 2.997\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

e) Tevatron (1 TeV)

$\beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{\left (\frac{1000000 MeV}{938.28 MeV}+1 \right )^{2}}}$

$\beta = 0.9999$

$v = c \cdot 0.9999 = 2.999\cdot 10^{8} m/s$

Have a nice day!

Why is the overall charge on an atom neutral?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The overall charge on a neutral atom is zero.

A neutral atoms contains equal number of electrons and protons.The charge of a proton and electron is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. A proton has a charge of 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C and the charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C. Thus in a neutral atom, the charge of all the protons gets cancelled with the charge of all the electrons.

Thus a neutral atom has a net zero charge.
