Answer:

The kinetic energy of an electron in the beam is 5.04 keV.

 

Explanation:

We need to find the velocity of the electron by using the De Broglie wavelength:

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

Where:

λ: is the wavelength = 0.0173 nm

v: is the velocity

m: is the electron's mass = 9.1x10⁻³¹ kg

h: is the Planck constant = 6.62x10⁻³⁴ J.s

v = \frac{h}{m\lambda} = \frac{6.62 \cdot 10^{-34} J.s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*0.0173 \cdot 10^{-9} m} = 4.21 \cdot 10^{7} m/s

Now, we can find the kinetic energy:

E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*(4.21 \cdot 10^{7} m/s)^{2} = 8.06 \cdot 10^{-16} J*\frac{1 eV}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J} = 5038 eV = 5.04 keV

Therefore, the kinetic energy of an electron in the beam is 5.04 keV.

I hope it helps you!

katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

DanielleElmas [232]
First, we calculate the mass of Phosphorous present:
283.88 x 0.4364
= 123.88 amu
Atomic mass of P is 31 amu

moles of P = mass / Ar
= 123.88 / 31
= 4.0 moles

We know that one mole of substance has 6.02 x 10²³ particles
Atoms of P = 4 x 6.02 x 10²³ 
= 2.41 x 10²⁴ atoms
