Answer:

A.   potassium

Explanation:

Potassium is expected to have the greater atomic radius from the given choices of element.

Atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid states of metals.

  • Across a period, the atomic radii decreases progressively from left to right.
  • This is due to the progressive increase in the nuclear charge without increase in the number of electronic shells.

A Young's interference experiment is performed with blue-green laser light. The separation between the slits is 0.500 mm, and th
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm

Explanation:

From Young's Double Slit Experiment, we know the following formula for the distance between consecutive bright fringes:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = fringe spacing = distance of 1st bright fringe from center = 0.00322 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 3.1 m

d = Separation between slits = 0.0005 m

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

0.00322 m = λ(3.1 m)/(0.0005 m)

λ = (0.00322 m)(0.0005 m)/(3.1 m)

<u>λ = 5.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 520 nm</u>

How much work is required to stop an electron (m = 9.11 \times 10^ - 31 kg) which is moving with a speed of 2.10
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

-2.00876\times 10^{-18}\ J

Explanation:

v = Speed of electron = 2.1\times 10^6\ m/s (generally the order of magnitude is 6)

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Work done would be done by

W=K_i-K_f\\\Rightarrow W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times (2.1\times 10^6)^2\\\Rightarrow W=-2.00876\times 10^{-18}\ J

The work required to stop the electron is -2.00876\times 10^{-18}\ J

Although planets orbit the Sun in ellipses, all the planetary orbits are fairly close to circular and not very eccentric.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in this same, right-hand-rule direction. All planetary orbits lie in nearly the same plane. All planetary orbits are nearly circular (eccentricity near zero).
