What causes the random, zig-zag movement (Brownian motion) of smoke particles suspended in air?​

Physics
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It is caused by air molecules colliding with smoke particles

Explanation:

To start with, Brownian motion is the erratic or irregular movement of very small particles in a medium due to continuous bombardment by molecules that surround the medium.

Thus, smoke moves in a Zig-Zag manner (Brownian motion) due to continious air bombardment. If it were pollen grain suspended in water, the erratic movement (Brownian motion) of the grains is caused by bombardment from water molecules.

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.

What is the speed of light in a vacuume?
-Dominant- [34]

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly

299,792,458 meters per second.

That's so exact that it's the official scientific definition of a "meter".

The number doesn't t change even if the flashlight or other light source is moving.

What is the maximum angular momentum Lmax that an electron with principal quantum number n = 2 can have? Express your answer in
butalik [34]

Answer:

L_{max} = 1.414 ℏ

Given:

Principle quantum number, n = 2

Solution:

To calculate the maximum angular momentum, L_{max}, we have:

L_{max} = \sqrt {l(1 + l)}                              (1)

where,

l = azimuthal quantum number or angular momentum quantum number

Also,

n = 1 + l

2 = 1 + l

l = 1

Now,

Using the value of l = 1 in eqn (1), we get:

L_{max} = \sqrt {1(1 + 1)} = \sqrt 2

L_{max} = 1.414 ℏ
