Answer:

The frequency of radio waves with a wavelength of 20m is

1.5 e+7 Hertz (Hz) or 15 million Hertz.

This was obtained from the formula speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (λ)

c = fλ

Since we are looking for the frequency, we will divide both sides of the formula above by the lamda symbol for wavelength, which gives us:

f = c / λ

The value of wavelength is already given which is 20 meters. The speed of radio waves is the same with the speed of light when travelling in a vacuum – also with the other electromagnetic waves. Hence the speed (c) is 3 e+8 m/s

f = 3 e+8 m/s / 20m

f = 1.5 e+7 H

Answer:

Velocity will be $v=4.06\times10^7m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given mass of alpha particle m = 4 u $=4\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}kg=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg$

Charge on alpha particle $q=2e=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C=3.2\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on thorium particle $=90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=144\times 10^{-19}C$

Diameter is given as d = 15 fm

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5fm=7.5\times 10^{-15}m$

Potential energy is given by $E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r}=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 144\times 10^{-19}\times 3.2\times 10^{-19}}{7.5\times 10^{-15}}=5.529\times 10^{-12}J$
