6 0

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000  x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

In an interference pattern, the intensity is Group of answer choices smaller in regions of constructive interference than in reg
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The same in both the regions of constructive interference and the regions of destructive interference.

Explanation:

Interference is a phenomenon which occurs when two waves meet while moving along the same medium . The amplitude formed as a result of the interference could be greater, lower, or the same amplitude.

Constructive and destructive interference result from the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other. This is because arose from the same source or they have the same or nearly the same frequency.

The waves being coherent, arising from the same source and having the same frequency explains why it’s the same in both the regions of constructive interference and the regions of destructive interference.

4. If a charged body is negatively charged, it has excess of _______
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged sub-atomic particles, therefore when a body's negatively charged, it means that there's more electrons than protons.

What is the density of a piece of wood with a mass of 25 kg<br> and a volume of 0.0385 m³?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

649kg/m^3

Explanation:

Let p be the density of this particular object.

Formula for density:

p =  \frac{mass \: (in \: kg)}{volume \: (in \:  {m}^{3}) }

We can substitute the givenmass and volume to find density of the object.

p =  \frac{25kg}{0.0385 {m}^{3} }  \\  = 649kg \: per \:  {m}^{3}

Therefore the density of this object is 649kg/m^3.
