Through what potential difference must an electron be accelerated from rest to have a de Broglie wavelength of 500 nmnm

Physics

Answer:

V = 6.04 10⁻⁶ V

Explanation:

The energy in a system is conserved so the potential energy of the system must be transformed into the kinetic energy of the electron.

              E_{p} = K

              eV = ½ m v²

              V = ½ m v²/e

Let's use the de Broglie relation

             λ= h / p

the moment is

            p = mv

let's replace

            λ = h / mv

            v = \frac{h}{m \lambda }

hence the potential energy

             V = ½ \frac{m}{e} (\frac{h}{m \lambda })²

            V = \frac{h^{2} }{2e  m \lambda^{2} }

let's reduce λ to sistem SI

             λ = 500 nm = 500 10⁻⁹ m = 5 10⁻⁷ m

let's calculate

             V = (6.63 10⁻³⁴)² / (9.1 10⁻³¹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹ (5 10⁻⁷)² )

         

             V = 6.04 10⁻⁶ V

O'Malley is riding on a bus which is moving at 10 m/s, and he throws a ball which he observes to be moving at 10 m/s relative to
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<em>20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Relative Motion </u>

Objects movement is always related to some reference. If you are moving at a constant speed, all the objects moving with you seem to be at rest from your reference, but they are moving at the same speed as you by an external observer.

If we are riding on a bus at 10 m/s and throw a ball which we see moving at 10 m/s in our same direction, then an external observer (called Ophelia) will see the ball moving at our speed plus the relative speed with respect to us, that is, at 20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.

Place the items in order from the largest wavelength to the shortest wavelength.
Butoxors [25]

From largest to shortest wavelength:

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Red visible, Orange visible, Yellow visible, Green visible, Blue visible, Violet visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum, and in a vacuum they always at the same speed, the speed of light,  equal to:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From slongest to shortest wavelength, they are ranked as follows:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is the only part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to see. Depending on the wavelength of the visible light, we perceive the radiation as a different color. In order from longest to shortest wavelength, colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Therefore, the correct order from largest to shortest wavelength in the given list is:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Red visible

Orange visible

Yellow visible

Green visible

Blue visible

Violet visible

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

What is the period if the block’s mass is doubled? note that you do not know the value of either m or k , so do not assume any p
Oksanka [162]

The period of the block's mass is changed by a factor of √2 when the mass of the block was doubled.

The time period T of the block with mass M attached to a spring of spring constant K is given by,

T = 2π(√M/K).

Let us say that, when we increased the mass to 2M, the time periods of the block became T', the spring constant is not changed, so, we can write,

T' = 2π(√2M/K)

Putting T = 2π(√M/K) above,

T' =√2T

So, here we can see, if the mass is doubled from it's initial value. The time period of the mass will be changed by a factor of √2.

If Sherry took her pulse for 6 seconds and felt 14 beats, What would her heart rate be?
Tom [10]

Answer:

140 beats per minute

Explanation:

You have to multiply the ratio 14 beats/6 seconds by 10 because 6 seconds times 10 to get 1 minute. The answer you get is 140 beats/60 seconds.
