The voltage across the diode indicates the energy given to charge carriers (electrons and holes, but more about that later in th

e course.) If the diode turns on at X volts, then the charge carriers are getting X electron-volts of energy. The charge carriers can give up this energy by emitting a photon. How does the energy the charge carriers get at the turn-on voltage compare to the energy of a red photon

Answer:

the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy in a diode is conserved so the energy supplied must be equal to the energy emitted in the form of photons.

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck expression

             E = h f

the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related

             c = λ f

we substitute

             E = \frac{h \ c}{\lambda}

a red photon has a wavelength of lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

we calculate the energy

              E = 6.626 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/700 10⁻⁹

              E = 2.8397 10⁻¹⁹J

therefore the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J,

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many neutrons, on average, are in an atom of osmium?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: 114

Explanation:

The mass number of an element gives the sum of the protons and the neutrons inside the nucleus of one atom of that element, while the atomic number of an element gives the number of protons inside one atom of that element.

We can infer the number of neutrons inside one atom of Osmium from its mass number and atomic number.

The atomic number of osmium is 76, so each atom of osmium has 76 protons

The (average) mass number of osmium is 190, so each atom of osmium has (on average) 190 protons+neutrons

So, in order to find the average number of neutrons, we can subtract the atomic number from the mass number:

N=A-Z=190-76=114
