Answer:

Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second

Period—time it takes for one wave cycle to complete

wavelength λ - the distance between adjacent identical parts of a wave, parallel to the direction of propagation.

Tension - described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object

Find the de broglie wavelength of an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom.
HACTEHA [7]

de Broglie wavelength (λ) is given by the equation

λ = h/p

where h=Planck’s constant whose value is 6.62 x 10^(−34) joule-seconds and

p = momentum of the particle(here electron)

In terms of kinetic energy(E) momentum(p) can be written as,

p=(2mE)^1/2

where m=mass of the particle.

Hence λ becomes

1 λ = h(2mE)^-1/2

Given here, E = 13.6 eV = 13.6×1.6×10^-19 joule

m(mass of electron)= 9.1×10^-31 kg

Putting these values in equation (1) we get ,

λ =0.332×10^(-9) meter

=3.32×10^(-10) meter

=3.32 Å

A toy car has a 1.5-A current, and its resistance is 2 . How much voltage does the car require?
oee [108]

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

Voltage = (1.5 A) x (2 ohms)

In order to MAKE 1.5 A of current flow through the toy car, you have to PROVIDE <em>3 volts</em> from the battery.
