Answer:

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus)

Explanation:

This problem asks for some experimental explanations of various quantum phenomena.

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

In the classical explanation all states or energies are allowed, therefore when emitting energy (photons) there should be a continuum, this is not observed

In the correct quantum explanation only some states are allowed, therefore the emission must be discrete, which is observed in the emission or absorption of molecules and atoms

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

The incorrect classical explanation that if the minimum energy was zero the electrons cannot rotate around the nuclei and the atom collapses, this does not happen

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams, which is evidence of the existence of two discrete states that we call spin, remember that a free electron beam has zero angular momentum.

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission that occurs when a photon passes through the emission zone, causing the atoms to have transitions and these emitted photons have the same initial photon location, the laser beam all photons are in phase and therefore it is coherent .

This is widely used for holographic and interference work

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) leaves the atomic nucleus penetrating the barrier since its energy is lower than the nuclear barrier potential.

A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

or

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

Sully uses a battery and a coil of wire to create an electromagnet. Using the same materials, if he wants to increase the streng
garik1379 [7]
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced using the current. The simplest form of an electromagnet is a wire wrapped around in a coil.
The strength of magnetic field of such magnet is given with this equation:
B=\frac{NI\mu}{L}
Where N is the number of loops in the coil, I is the strength of the current flowing through the coil, L is the length of the coil, and \mu is <span>permeability of the electromagnet core material.
From this equation, we can see that increasing both the current and number of loops will increase the strength of the magnet.
Both BLANKS should be Increase. When you use the additional battery you will have more voltage and more voltage means more electricity.</span>
