g You want to make simultaneous measurements of the position and momentum of an electron and a proton that are moving along a st

raight line. An alternate statement of the uncertainty principle involves relationship between position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) uncertainties in the form . If both of them are located with an uncertainty of 1 × 10-10 m, what is the ratio of uncertainty in the velocity of the electron to that of the proton?

Answer:

1832

Explanation:

From;

Δp Δx = h/4π

Δp = uncertainty in momentum

Δx = uncertainty in position

h= Plank's constant

But p =mv hence, Δp= Δmv

m= mass, v= velocity

mass of electron = 9.11 * 10^-31 Kg

Mass of proton = 1.67 * 10^-27 Kg

since m is a constant,

Δv = h/Δxm4π

For proton;

Δv = 6.6 * 10^-34/4 * 3.14 * 1.67 * 10^-27 * 1 * 10^-10

Δv = 315 ms-1

For electron;

Δv = 6.6 * 10^-34/4 * 3.14 * 9.11 * 10^-31 * 1 * 10^-10

Δv = 577000 ms-1

Ratio of uncertainty of electron to that of proton = 577000 ms-1/315 ms-1= 1832

Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?
dangina [55]

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.

The spherical annulus of cometary nuclei surrounding the solar system is called the ___.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Oort Cloud

Explanation:

  • Hundreds of millions of comet nuclei forming a spherical region that surrounds the solar system is called Oort cloud.
  • The Oort cloud revolves at tens of thousands of the distance of the earth from the sun.
  • Comets are the condensed water and dust particles that orbit around the sun with inward helix leaving behind a tail of vapours and vaporize completely as they get closer to the sun during their revolution around it.
  • They have a nebulous appearance and extremely elongated orbits.
