I have been instructed to calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a proton moving at 1) 2 x 10^4 m/s and 2) 2 x 10^7 m/s
For the first velocity, the particle is not relativistic, but for the second velocity the particle is.
can someone explain to me what makes velocity 2 relativistic?
thanks.
I have 3 questions dealing with radioactivity:
Q1. Which particle, alpha or beta, is least massive?
A1. well alpha particles are emitted as 4,2 Helium nuclei and beta particles are emitted as either electrons or positrons. So would the beta particles be least massive?
Q2: Do all alpha...
A tiny spherical bead of steel bead is suspended by a special transparent thread that does not diffract light so that it has no effect on the interference pattern of the bead. Draw to scale the interference pattern created by the bead. The bead has a diameter of 0.13 mm. Include only
the...
Ok, so for the first resonance it will be wavelength/4
For the second resonance (the third harmonic) it will be 3x wavelength/4
And for the third resonance it will be 5x wavelength/4
How do I find the wavelength in order to calculate the length of the pipe?
thanks.
Here's the situation: you have a pipe in a bucket of water and can vary the length of the air column in the pipe by raising or lowering it.
Here's my question, hope someone can help.
The speed of sound in helium is three times greater than the speed of sound in air (340m/s). Under these...
I have a question dealing with magnetic flux that I cannot seem to get. Please help
Question= A 2m conductor is formed into a square and placed in the xy plane. a magnetic field is oriented 30 degrees above the horizontal with a strength of 6T. What is the magnetic flux through the...
My question is this: what voltage must a battery have to support 10A of current trhough a light bulb with resistance 6 Ohms.
Is the answer simply found by: V = R x I ---- V = 6 x 10 = 60V
I believe this is correct.
Part II of my question is if you kept the same battery, but added a...
