Answer:

the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced. Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening. It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.

Explanation: FYI I gave you the def and what it refers to BTW

What did Thomson’s model of the atom include that Dalton’s model did not have?

astraxan [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Dalton's model of atom states that every matter is made up of atoms and these atoms are indivisible in nature.

On the other hand, Thomson's model of atom states that there are small particles present in an atom that has positive or negative charges.

Thomson's model of atom is also known as plum pudding model where negatively charged particles are represented by plum and positively charged particles are represented by pudding.

Thus, we can conclude that Thomson’s model of the atom include smaller particles that Dalton’s model did not have.

Lead atoms occupy a volume of 3 x 10-29 m3. Each atom contributes two free electrons. Calculate the Fermi velocity of lead.

Juliette [100K]

<u>Answer:</u> The Fermi velocity of lead is 64.4 km/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the Fermi velocity, we use the equation:

$V_f=\frac{h}{2\pi m_e}(\frac{3\pi^2N}{V})^{1/3}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.62\times 10^{-34}Js$

$m_e$ = mass of electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}kg$

N = Number of atoms present in per volume of atom multiplied by number of electrons present in given atom = $\frac{2\times N_A\times V}{M}$

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{26}mol^{-1}$ (When the mass is in kilograms)

V = Volume = $3\times 10^{-29}m^3$

M = molecular weight of lead = 207.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V_f=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{2\times 3.14\times (9.1\times 10^{-31})}(\frac{3\times (3.14)^2\times (2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 3\times 10^{-29})}{3\times 10^{-29}\times 207.2})^{1/3}$

$V_f=0.0644\times 10^6m/s=64.4km/s$ (Conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m)

Hence, the Fermi velocity of lead is 64.4 km/s
