In the late 19th century, great interest was directed toward the study of electrical discharges in gases and the nature of so-ca

lled cathode rays. One remarkable series of experiments with cathode rays, conducted by J. J. Thomson around 1897, led to the discovery of the electron.
With the idea that cathode rays were charged particles, Thomson used a cathode-ray tube to measure the ratio of charge to mass, q/m, of these particles, repeating the measurements with different cathode materials and different residual gases in the tube.
Part A
What is the most significant conclusion that Thomson was able to draw from his measurements?
He found a different value of q/m for different cathode materials.
He found the same value of q/m for different cathode materials.
From measurements of q/m he was able to calculate the charge of an electron.
From measurements of q/m he was able to calculate the mass of an electron.
Part B
What is the distance Δy between the two points that you observe? Assume that the plates have length d, and use e and m for the charge and the mass of the electrons, respectively.
Express your answer in terms of e, m, d, v0, L, and E0.
Part C
Now imagine that you place your entire apparatus inside a region of magnetic field of magnitude B0 (Figure 2) . The magnetic field is perpendicular to E⃗ 0 and directed straight into the plane of the figure. You adjust the value of B0 so that no deflection is observed on the screen.
What is the speed v0 of the electrons in this case?
Express your answer in terms of E0 and B0.

Answer:

a) He found the same value of q/m for different cathode materials.

b)      y = - \frac{e}{m}\  \frac{E_o v_o^2 }{2d^2} ,  c)  v = \frac{E_o}{B_o}

Explanation:

In Thomson's experiments he was able to measure the deflection of the light beam under the effect of the magnetic field and with these results find the e / m relationship, which in all cases is the same, therefore the most important conclusion is that the value e E / m is constant for all materials.

b) In the part of the plates the electrons are accelerated by the electric field,

              F = ma

             - e E = m a

              a = - (e/m)  E₀

               

the distance traveled is          

X axis

          x = v₀ t

the separation of the plates is x = d

          t = vo / d

               

Y axis

          y = v_{oy} t + ½ to t²

          y = ½ a t²

          y = - \frac{e}{m}\  \frac{E_o v_o^2 }{2d^2}

           

c) In this case there is a magnetic field B₀ and the electrons have no deflection

         F = - e E + e v x B

       

if there is no deviation F = 0

         e E = e v B

         v = \frac{E_o}{B_o}

stich3 [128]
-- Use the formula  D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²)  to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

=10^{-5.9}

intensity of sound of 5 persons

I=5\times 10^{-5.9}

dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .
