Answer:

2 m = E / c^2      where m is mass of electron

E = h v     where v is the frequency ( nu) of the incident photon

E = h c / y      where y is the incident wavelength (lambda)

2 m = h / (c y)

y = h / (2 m c)      wavelength required

y = 6.62 * 10E-34 / (2 * 9.1 * 10E-31 * 3 * 10E8)  m

y = 3.31 / 27.3 E-11 m

y = 1.21 E -12 m   = .0121 Angstrom units

Which of the following statements about X-rays and radio waves is not true? Which of the following statements about X-rays and r
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Now we can analyze the 4 statements:

X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.

X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.

attached below are examples

Why does the emission of an alpha particle always result in transmutation?
prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

some radioactive isotope are present as terrestrial radiation other radioactive isotope are produced by humans via nuclear reactions which is result in unstable combination of neutrons and proton one way of artificially inducing nuclear transmutation is by bombarding stable isotopes with alpha particles
