This attraction occurs from adhesion, also known as adsorption <span />
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:
Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.
Explanation:
The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.
When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.
Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.
