Why is it necessary for cells to be so small​

Physics
1 answer:
madreJ [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste.

Explanation:

That is why the cell needs to be small

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV

Converting into Joules,

E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for \lambda,

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.

What must be the magnitude of a uniform electric field if it is to have the same energy density as that possessed by a 0.50 T ma
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

Explanation:

given data

B = 0.50 T

solution

we know that energy density by the magnetic field is express as

\mu _b = \frac{B}{2\mu _o}   ...............1

and

energy density due to electric filed is

\mu _e = \frac{\epsilon _o E^2}{2}     ...............2

and here \mu _b = \mu _ e

so that

E = \frac{B}{\sqrt{\mu _o \times \epsilon _o}}      ...................3

put here value and we get

E = \frac{0.50}{\sqrt{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 8.852 \times 10^{-12}}}  

E = 3 × 10^{8}  × 0.50

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

Which part of an atom makes up most of its volume ?
alexandr1967 [171]
Remember that like charges repel each other. That is, positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Similar to how the north poles of magnets repel each other and south poles repel. However, at the atomic scale, protons, which have positive charge, are more influenced by the "Strong Force," which binds them close together. If they were to be separated ever so slightly, then the electromagnetic force would take over and they would repel each other like you'd expect. 

Neutrons are also held together via the Strong Force, but don't have a charge so when separated, don't have an electromagnetic force pushing them away from each other.

However, electrons act differently. There is no "Strong Force" just the electromagnetic force. So, they keep a great distance from each other. 

So in an atom, protons and neutrons stay close to each other, taking up little volume, while electrons take up a lot of volume.

BTW, the reason why electrons and protons act differently when they are close together is because protons are made up of smaller particles the carry this Strong Force. For electrons, there is no smaller constituent. And therefore, all you have is the electromagnetic force to influence it. That's it.

Hope that helps.
