Answer:

6.58×10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

Applying

E = kq²/r.................. Equation 1

Where E = potential energy, q = charge on each electron, r = distance between the electron, k = coulomb's constant.

From the question,

Given: r = 3.5×10⁻¹¹ m,

Constant: q = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C, k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = (1.6×10⁻¹⁹)²(8.99×10⁹)/(3.5×10⁻¹¹)

E = 6.58×10⁻¹⁸ J

A galloping pony speeds past you at 5 m/s. The frequency of the sound produced by the hooves on the dirt is 221 Hz. Assume the s

kow [346]

Given:
speed of passing pony 5 m/s
frequency of the sound produced: 221 Hz
speed of sound 342 m/s

Let us use the Doppler Shift Formula:
Where the source is moving away from the observer at rest

f' = (v / v+vs) f
Where, vs = Velocity of the Source,
v = Velocity of sound or light in medium,
f = Real frequency,
f' = Apparent frequency.

f'= [342 m/s / (342 m/s+5m/s)] * 221 Hz
f' = 0.9856 * 221Hz
f' = 217.8176 Hz or 218 Hz

The observed frequency of the hooves after the pony has passed your position is 218 Hz.

A thin oil slick (no=1.50) floats on water (nw=1.33). When a beam of white light strikes this film at normal incidence from air,

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The (minimum) thickness of the oil slick is 325 nm.

Explanation:

Let the (minimum) thickness of the oil slick = $t_{o}$

Therefore:

2 $t_{o}$ = ( $m_{red}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ )*λ $_{red}$ / $n_{o}$ (1)

similarly,

2 $t_{o}$ =( $m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2}$ )*λ $_{violet}$ / $n_{o}$ (2)

Thus, equation 1 = equation 2

( $m_{red}$ + $\frac{1}{2})$ *λ $_{red} /n_{o}$ = ( $m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})$ *λ $_{violet}/n_{o}$

Where:

λ $_{red} = 650 nm$

λ $_{violet} = 390 nm$

$n_{o} = 1.5$

Therefore:

$\frac{2m_{violet}+1 }{2n_{red}+1 }$ =650/390=5/3

This shows that,

$m_{violet}$ =2

$m_{red}$ =1

Thus, using equation 2

$t_{o}$ = $\frac{5*390}{2*2*1.5} =325 nm$
