Electron spin: Radio astronomers can detect clouds of hydrogen too cool to radiate optical wavelengths of light by means of the

21 cm spectral line corresponding with the flipping of the electron in a hydrogen atom from having its spin parallel to the proton spin to having it antiparallel. From this wavelength, and thus E between states, find the magnetic field experienced by the electron in a hydrogen atom

Answer:

the magnetic field experienced by the electron is 0.0511 T

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Wavelength λ = 21 cm = 0.21 m

we know that Bohr magneton μ_B is 9.27 × 10⁻²⁴ J/T

Plank's constant h is 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

protein spin causes magnetic field in hydrogen atom.

so

Initial potential energy = -μ_BB × cos0°

= -μ_BB × 1

= -μ_BB

Final potential energy = -μ_BB × cos180°

= -μ_BB × -1

= μ_BB

so change in energy will be;

ΔE = μ_BB - ( -μ_BB )

ΔE = 2μ_BB

now, difference in energy levels will be;

ΔE = hc/λ

2μ_BB = hc/λ

2μ_BBλ = hc

B = hc /  2μ_Bλ

so we substitute

B = [(6.626 × 10⁻³⁴) × (3 × 10⁸)]  /  [2(9.27 × 10⁻²⁴) × 0.21 ]

B = [ 1.9878 × 10⁻²⁵ ]  /  [ 3.8934 × 10⁻²⁴ ]

B = 510556326.09

B = 0.0511 T

Therefore, the magnetic field experienced by the electron is 0.0511 T

Which equation expresses the conservation of mechanical energy in a system that involves kinetic energy, gravitational potential
Gwar [14]
1/2mv^2 = mgh. is the equation that expresses the conservation of mechanical energy in a system where the only forms of mechanical energy are kinetic energy, gravitation potential energy and elastic potential energy So the chemical equation for this three energy are 1/2mv^2 = mgh
The answer is 1/2mv^2 = mgh

How electromagnet works in circuit breaker
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Explanation:

A circuit breaker is an automatic switch that cut off current in a circuit when the current become too large. When the current in a circuit increases, the strength of the electromagnet will increase in accordance; this will pull the soft iron armature towards the electromagnet.

You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. Which is the best explanation for this?
liubo4ka [24]
Salutations!

<span>You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. Which is the best explanation for this?

The best explanation for this statement is the transmission of light in air is faster than the transmission of sound in the air. Light is faster than sound, thus you can see the thunder then you can hear the sound.

Hope I helped :D</span>
