What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?
statuscvo [17]

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

Name the material used to transfer of charges from one body to other​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

conductor

Explanation:

A "conductor" is a material that allows the charges to pass freely from one body to the other. This causes a movement among the electrons and this means that<em> the charge will be passed entirely to the object receiving it.</em> This is also called <em>"conductive material."</em>

Examples of conductors are: <em>copper, aluminum, gold, silver, seawater, etc.</em>

The opposite of conductors are called "insulators." These do not allow the free movement of charges from one object to the other.

Examples of insulators: <em>plastic, rubber, paper, glass, wool, dry air, etc.</em>

A mass spectrometer applies a voltage of 2.00 kV to accelerate a singly charged positive ion. A magnetic field of B = 0.400 T th
N76 [4]

The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force \frac{mv^2}{r}.

So,

Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

and

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}

On substituting the value, we get:

m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.
