Answer:
A new substance was formed
Explanation:
According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.
This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.
Given Information:
KEa = 9520 eV
KEb = 7060 eV
Electric potential = Va = -55 V
Electric potential = Vb = +27 V
Required Information:
Charge of the particle = q = ?
Answer:
Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy, we have
ΔKE = -qΔV
KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)
-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va
-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)
-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55
-q = -2460/82
minus sign cancels out
q = 2460/82
Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹
q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82
q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
Answer:
The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.
Mathematically;
The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;
ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)
where λ is the wavelength of the light used
Let’s make L the subject of the formula
(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L
From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5
Plugging these values, we have
L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
