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

60+6=48<br> What is the value of b?
mina [271]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean 60 + 6b = 48

subtract 60 from both sides: 6b = 48 - 60 = -12

Now divide both sides by 6 to solve for b: b = -12/6 = -2

Someone please help me with number 16
Zinaida [17]
This is a 45-90-45 triangle so in order to find the answer we have to multiply the hypotenuse, 6, by the square root of 2 or radical 2. Then multiply top and bottom by radical 2. Then simplify.
\frac{6}{ \sqrt{2} }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2} }  =  \frac{6 \sqrt{2} }{2}  = 3 \sqrt{2}

The diagram shows a plan for the rectangular house with an attached porch. The combined area of the house and the porch is 733ft
Nikolay [14]

The value of x in the diagram is 8 feet that makes the combined area of the house and the porch to be 733 ft²

<h3>How to calculate area?</h3>

Combined area = big rectangle + smaller rectangle - triangle

Hence:

733 = (13 * (59 - x)) + (x * 9) - 0.5(9 - 7) * (x - 6)

733 = 767 - 13x + 9x - x + 6

x = 8 feet

The value of x in the diagram is 8 feet that makes the combined area of the house and the porch to be 733 ft²
