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

You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 20.0 m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 30
12345 [234]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.2 m

Explanation:

given,

distance = 20 m

sound of average whisper = 30 dB

distance moved closer = ?

new frequency = 80 dB

using formula

\beta = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0})

   I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

now,

30 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}= 10^3

I_1= 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

to hear the whisper sound = 80 dB

80 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}= 10^8

I_2= 10^{-4}\ W/m^2

we know intensity of sound is inversely proportional to square of distances

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\dfrac{10^{-8}}{10^{-4}}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

10^{-4}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

  r₂ = 0.2 m

A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th
vivado [14]

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
