A. If an electron of 16 eV had a head-on collision with a Cs atom at rest, what would be the kinetic energy in eV) of the recoil

ing Cs atom? Assume an elastic collision. (Take the atom to be the most abundant isotope of the element. B. In a Frank-Hertz experiment, the first excited state of Hg is obtained at an accelerating voltage measured to be 4.87 V. Based on this measured value, determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation you expect to be emitted.

Answer:

A) 1.96 * 10^-8 J

B) 2.55 * 10^-7 m

Explanation:

A) calculate the kinetic energy in eV of the recoiling Cs atom

we have to apply the principle of energy conservation and momentum

Initial kinetic energy of electron = 16 eV = 16 * (1.6 * 10^-19 ) J

Initial kinetic energy of atom = 0

therefore the final kinetic energy after collision ( E )

= [ 16 * ( 1.6 * 10^-19 ) ] + 0

= 1.96 * 10^-8 J

B) Determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation

accelerating Voltage = 4.87 V

K.E = eV = 1.6 * 10^-19 * 4.87

next we will apply Planck's relationship

$\frac{hc}{w} = KE$ --------- ( 1 )

w = wavelength

h = 6.64 * 10^-34 J-S ( Planck's constant )

c = 3 * 10 ^8 m/sec ( speed of light )

KE = 1.6 * 10^-19 * 4.87

substitute given values into equation 1 above

w ( wavelength ) = 2.55 * 10^-7 m

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

Nutka1998 [239]

At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.

The intensity of light from a star (its brightness) is the power it outputs divided by the surface area over which it’s spread:

kow [346]

Answer:

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=0.36$

Explanation:

1. We can find the temperature of each star using the Wien's Law. This law is given by:

$\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}=\frac{2.9x10^{-3}[mK]}{T[K]}$ (1)

So, the temperature of the first and the second star will be:

$T_{1}=3866.7 K$

$T_{2}=6444.4 K$

Now the relation between the absolute luminosity and apparent brightness is given:

$L=l\cdot 4\pi r^{2}$ (2)

Where:

L is the absolute luminosity
l is the apparent brightness
r is the distance from us in light years

Now, we know that two stars have the same apparent brightness, in other words l₁ = l₂

If we use the equation (2) we have:

$\frac{L_{1}}{4\pi r_{1}^2}=\frac{L_{2}}{4\pi r_{2}^2}$

So the relative distance between both stars will be:

$\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$ (3)

The Boltzmann Law says, $L=A\sigma T^{4}$ (4)

σ is the Boltzmann constant
A is the area
T is the temperature
L is the absolute luminosity

Let's put (4) in (3) for each star.

$\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{A_{1}\sigma T_{1}^{4}}{A_{2}\sigma T_{2}^{4}}$

As we know both stars have the same size we can canceled out the areas.

$\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}$

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}}$

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}}$

$\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=0.36$

I hope it helps!

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity = 24m/s

final velocity = 0 ( since she is coming to a rest )

time = 12 s

∴ acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time

= 0 -24 / 12

= -24/12

= -2 m/s

hope this helps
