AI Thread Summary
To convert 1 meV to Å using the equation 1 (E)1/2 = 9.045Å-1, it is necessary to solve for Å by substituting E with 1 meV. The Å represents the unit of length, specifically angstroms, commonly used in atomic and molecular scales. The values 1 and 9.045 are coefficients in the equation, with 9.045 being a conversion factor. The discussion highlights the need to convert energy units from meV to Joules for standard calculations, but the specific conversion to Å is not straightforward. Clarification on the units and the equation's context is essential for accurate calculations.

Homework Statement


Hi

I am told that 1 (E)1/2 = 9.045Å-1, where E is the energy in meV. How do I find out what 1 meV is in Å from that? All I can get is the correspondence between meV and Å-2, not meV and Å.

What does the Å represent?
Do the 1 and 9.045 have units?
Maybe your job is just to solve the equation for Å, and put in 1 MeV for E. Not a clear question in my opinion - if you have posted all of it. Normally the 1 MeV would be changed into standard units of energy (Joules) but I don't know what you should do in this case.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
