A pencil aapears bent when dippes partially in a beaker contaning water why?​

Physics

i

the pencil appears to be bent when dipped in water because the reflected light ray from the immersed part of the pencil refracts when travels from water to air. however, it appears to be bent because our eyes expect light to travel in straight line

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years. How long will it take for 6.25% of the Carbon-14 to be remaining?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

22,800 years

Explanation:

Half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

0.0625 = (½)^(t / 5700)

log 0.0625 = (t / 5700) log 0.5

4 = t / 5700

t = 22,800

It takes 22,800 years.

Assume the radius of an atom, which can be represented as a hard sphere, is r = 1.95 Å. The atom is placed in a (a) simple cubic
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

(a) A = 3.90 \AA

(b) A = 4.50 \AA

(c) A = 5.51 \AA

(d) A = 9.02 \AA

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of atom, r = 1.95 \AA = 1.95\times 10^{- 10} m

Now,

(a) For a simple cubic lattice, lattice constant A:

A = 2r

A = 2\times 1.95 = 3.90 \AA

(b) For body centered cubic lattice:

A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}r

A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 1.95 = 4.50 \AA

(c) For face centered cubic lattice:

A = 2{\sqrt{2}}r

A = 2{\sqrt{2}}\times 1.95 = 5.51 \AA

(d) For diamond lattice:

A = 2\times \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}r

A = 2\times \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 1.95 = 9.02 \AA

If the pressure in a gas is doubled while its volume is held constant, by what factor do vrms change
Nat2105 [25]

Answer is given below

Explanation:

given data

pressure = double

volume = constant

solution

As we know that an Average velocity and rms velocity is directly proportional to square root of PV ..................1

so if we take P is doubled while keeping V constant

than Velocity increases by a factor \sqrt{2}  

so that Factor = 1.414 for both the cases
