In February 2004, scientists at Purdue University used a highly sensitive technique to measure the mass of a vaccinia virus (the

kind used in smallpox vaccine). The procedure involved measuring the frequency of oscillation of a tiny sliver of silicon (just 32.0 nm long) with a laser, first without the virus and then after the virus had attached itself to the silicon. The difference in mass caused a change in the frequency. We can model such a process as a mass on a spring.
Required:
a. Find the ratio of the frequency with the virus attached ( fS+V) to the frequency without the virus (fS) in terms of mV and mS, where mV is the mass of the virus and mS is the mass of the silicon sliver.
b. In some data, the silicon sliver has a mass of 2.13×10^-16 g and a frequency of 2.04×10^15 Hz without the virus and 2.85×1014 with the virus. What is the mass of the virus in grams?

Answer:

a)   m_v = m_s ((\frac{w_o}{w})² - 1) ,  b)  m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g

Explanation:

a) The angular velocity of a simple harmonic motion is

           w² = k / m

where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the oscillator

let's apply this expression to our case,

silicon only

         w₉² = \frac{K}{m_s}

         k = w₀² m_s

silicon with virus

         w² = \frac{k}{m_s + m_v}

          k = w² (m_v + m_s)

in the two expressions the constant k is the same and q as the one property of the silicon bar, let us equal

           w₀²  m_s = w² (m_v + m_s)

           m_v = (\frac{w_o}{w})²  m_s - m_s

           m_v = m_s ((\frac{w_o}{w})² - 1)

b) let's calculate

          m_v = 2.13 10⁻¹⁶ [(\frac{20.4}{2.85})² - 1)]

          m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g

An x-ray beam of wavelength 1.4×10−10m makes an angle of 20° with a set of planes in a crystal(the Bragg angle)causing first ord
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Second order line appears at 43.33° Bragg angle.

Explanation:

When there is a scattering of x- rays from the crystal lattice and interference occurs, this is known as Bragg's law.

The Bragg's diffraction equation is :

n\lambda=2d\sin\theta      .....(1)

Here n is order of constructive interference, λ is wavelength of x-ray beam, d is the inter spacing distance of lattice and θ is the Bragg's angle or scattering angle.

Given :

Wavelength, λ = 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Bragg's angle, θ = 20°

Order of constructive interference, n =1

Substitute these value in equation (1).

1\times1.4\times10^{-10} =2d\sin20

d = 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

For second order constructive interference, let the Bragg's angle be θ₁.

Substitute 2 for n, 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for d and 1.4 x 10⁻¹⁰ m for λ in equation (1).

2\times1.4\times10^{-10} =2\times2.04\times10^{-10} \sin\theta_{1}

\sin\theta_{1} =0.68

<em>θ₁ </em>= 43.33°

laiz [17]
Well parents can set rules or even punishments which can influence the drinking habits of there kids such as, they aren't allowed to go out unless they had followed the rule there parents set for the amount they needed to have drank. Parents have many ways in which there authority can influence there kids habits.

Which event is an example of condensation?
ale4655 [162]

Answer: D

If the fog disappears when the Sun comes out, then this is an example of condensation because:

the Sun actually dries up the fog, and it makes it into higher clouds.

Hope this helps you!

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

<em>-z axis</em>

Explanation:

According to the left hand rule for an electron in a magnetic field, hold the thumb of the left hand at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the electron. In this case, the left hand will be held out with the thumb pointing to the right (+x axis), and the palm facing your body (-y axis). The magnetic field indicated by the other fingers will point down in the the -z axis.
