What is spontaneous emission?

Physics
2 answers:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Spontaneous emission is  a quantum effect, which in a semiclassical picture can be described as an emission which is stimulated by vacuum noise.

Spontaneous emission is the process in which a quantum mechanical system transits from an excited energy state to a lower energy state and emits a quantized amount of energy in the form of a photon. <em><u>definition from wikipedia </u></em>

A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.
romanna [79]

Answer:

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.

What is a similarity between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds?
Semenov [28]
Ionic bond: it is also called "electrovalent bond". It is "a type of chemical bond that can often form between metal and non-metal ions through electrostatic attraction";

Covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding, "characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds";

Metallic bond: "the chemical bond, which is characteristic of metals, in which mobile valence electrons are shared among atoms in a usually stable crystalline".

A continuous length of wire is made into 10 coaxial loops, located in the plane of this page. Each loop has a cross sectional ar
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

e = 10 V

Explanation:

given,

number of the coaxial loops = 10

Cross sectional area =  0.5 m²

magnitude of magnetic field =

B = 3 T + (2 T/s)*t.

B = ( 3+ 2 t ) T

induced potential difference = ?

At time = 2 s

we know,

induced emf

e = - N\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

∅ = B . A

e = - N\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}

e = - NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

e = - 10 \times 0.5 \times \dfrac{d}{dt}(3 + 2 t)

e = - 10 \times 0.5 \times 2

e = -10 V

magnitude of induced emf

|e| = |-10 V|

e = 10 V

the induced potential difference in the loop = e = 10 V

Compare the atmospheric pressure of two places 500m and 2 km respectively above sea-level. Give reason for your answer.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The average pressure at mean sea-level (MSL) in the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is 1013.25 hPa, or 1 atmosphere (atm), or 29.92 inches of mercury. Pressure (p), mass (m), and the acceleration due to gravity (g), are related by P = F/A = (m*g)/A, where A is surface area.
