Answer:

Generally the barrier width is a = 1.9322 *10^{-9} \ m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The tunneling probability required is  T  = 1 * 10^{-5}

      The barrier height is  V_o  = 0.4 eV

       The electron energy is  E = 0.08eV

Generally the wave number is mathematically represented as

      k  =  \sqrt{ \frac{2 * m [V_o - E]}{\= h^2} }

Here m is the mass of the electron with the value  m  =  9.11 *10^{-31} \  kg

         h  is is know as h-bar and the value is  \= h = 1.054*10^{-34} \  J \cdot s

So

          k  =  \sqrt{ \frac{2 * 9.11 *10^{-31 } [0.4 - 0.04] * 1.6*10^{-19}}{[1.054*10^{-34}^2]} }

=>      k = 3.073582 *10^{9}  \ m^{-1}

Generally the tunneling probability is mathematically represented as

          T  = 16 * \frac{E}{V_o }  * [1 - \frac{E}{V_o} ] * e^{-2 * k * a}

So

        1.0 *10^{-5} = 16 * \frac{0.04}{0.4 }  * [1 - \frac{0.04}{0.4} ] * e^{-2 * 3.0736 *10^{9} * a}

=>    6.944*10^{-6}= e^{-2 * 3.0736 *10^{9} * a}

Taking natural log of both sides

          ln[6.944*10^{-6}] = -2 * 3.0736 *10^{9} * a}

=>        -11.8776  = -2 * 3.0736 *10^{9} * a}

=>        a = 1.9322 *10^{-9} \ m

If 1/5 of those in a high school are freshmen, and 40% of the freshmen are women, and 3/5 of those in the other grades are women
murzikaleks [220]

There are 264 male students in the high school containing 600 students.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

There are 600 students altogether, hence:

Number of freshmen = (1/5) * 600 = 120

Number of other graders = 600 - 120 = 480

Number of male freshmen = 120 - (0.4 * 120) = 72

Number of male other graders = (1 - 3/5) * 480 = 192

Total number of male = 72 + 192 = 264

There are 264 male students in the high school containing 600 students.

What is the value of x that will make each of the two ratios proportional?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a=7, b=14

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 2/6=x/21

cross multiply=

2×21=x×6

then solve

42=6x

divide both sides by 6

x=42/6=<u>7</u>

b. 150/84=25/x

cross multiply=

84×25=150×x

then solve

2100=150x

divide both sides by 150

x=2100/150=<u>1</u><u>4</u>
