Answer:

The frequency of such a radio wave is 1 MHz.

(d) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 300 m

We know that,

Speed of light $c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s$

We calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

$c = f\times\lambda$

$f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{300}$

$f =1\times10^{6}\ Hz$

$f =1\ MHz$

Hence, The frequency of such a radio wave is 1 MHz.

Which of these statements is true about endothermic reactions, but not about exothermic reactions?

sashaice [31]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For endothermic reactions, the reactants have less energy than the products. Which would mean that energy should be added to the reaction for it to proceed. Hope this answers the question.

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?

spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science

Define alpha and beta

elena55 [62]

alpha is the excess return on an investment after adjusting for market related volatility and random fluctuations.

beta is a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark ,such as the S&P 500.

Explanation:

alpha and beta are two different parts of an equation used to explain the performance of stocks and investments funds. But in maths alpha and beta is the Greek alphabet

Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 kg), each having (a) a speed o

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Part A:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

$\lambda_{proton} = 6.05x10^{-14}m$ < $\lambda_{electron} = 1.10x10^{-10}m$

Part B:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

$\lambda_{proton} = 1.29x10^{-13}m$ < $\lambda_{electron} = 5.525x10^{-12}m$

Explanation:

The wavelength of each particle can be determined by means of the De Broglie equation.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$ (1)

Where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$ (2)

Part A

Case for the electron:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34} J.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

But $J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}$

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 1.10x10^{-10}m$

Case for the proton:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 6.05x10^{-14}m$

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

<em>Part B </em>

For part b, the wavelength of the electron and proton for that energy will be determined.

First, it is necessary to find the velocity associated to that kinetic energy:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$2KE = mv^{2}$

$v^{2} = \frac{2KE}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}$ (3)

Case for the electron:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}$

but $1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}$

$v = 1.316x10^{8}m/s$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(1.316x10^{8}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 5.525x10^{-12}m$

Case for the proton :

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}$

But $1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}$

$v = 3.07x10^{6}m/s$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(3.07x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 1.29x10^{-13}m$

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.
