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

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ  

longest wave length = 12.56 n m

you add equal amounts of heat to two identical cylinders containing equal amounts of the same ideal gas. cylinder a is allowed t
OleMash [197]

Temperature rise will be there in cylinder B more than in cylinder A because of internal energy.

what is internal energy?

The sum of the kinetic and chemical potential energies of all the particles in the system is the internal energy. Particles accelerate and pick up kinetic energy when energy is applied to increase the temperature.

Briefing:

Cylinder A uses the heat it absorbs to both work while expanding and to increase internal energy (or temperature).

While cylinder B solely uses the heat it absorbs to increase its internal energy 

As a result, cylinder B's temperature rise is greater than cylinder A's.

How do metal detcors operate
Masja [62]
Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. A. Ella said "a lot of energy in the hot water has disappeared." Explain why her stateme
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that; energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

In view of this principle, Ella can not be correct when she says that a lot of energy has disappeared. The use of the term "disappeared" connotes the idea that the energy no longer exists which does not happen.

Hence, energy can not "disappear" from hot water rather the energy in the water may be transferred to the surroundings.
