An apparatus is used to prepare an atomic beam by heating a collection of atoms to a temperature T and allowing the beam to emer

ge through a hole of diameter d in one side of the oven. The beam then travels through a straight path of length L. Show that the uncertainty principle causes the diameter of the beam at the end of the path to bt larger than d by an amount of order Lh/d Squareroot 3mkT, where m is the mass of an atom.

<span>We will apply the momentum-impulse theorem here. The total momentum along the x-direction is defined as p_(f) = p_(1) + p_(2) + p_(3) = 0.
Therefore, p_(1x) = m1v1 = 0.2 * 2 = 0.4. Additionally, p_(2x) = m2v2 = 0 and p_(3x) = m3v3 = 0.1 *v3, where v3 represents the unknown speed and m3 signifies the mass of the third object, which has an unspecified velocity.
In the same way, for the particle of 235g, the y-component of the total momentum is described with p_(fy) = p_(1y) + p_(2y) + p_(3y) = 0.
Thus, p_(1y) = 0, p_(2y) = m2v2 = 0.235 * 1.5 = 0.3525 and p_(3y) = m3v3 = 0.1 * v3, where m3 is the mass of the third piece.
Consequently, p_(fx) = p_(1x) + p_(2x) + p_(3x) = 0.4 + 0.1v3; yielding v3 = 0.4/-0.1 = - 4.
Similarly, p_(fy) = 0.3525 + 0.1v3; thus v3 = - 0.3525/0.1 = -3.525.
Therefore, the x-component of the speed of the third piece is v_3x = -4 and the y-component is v_3y = 3.525.
The overall speed is calculated as follows: resultant = âš (-4)^2 + (-3.525)^2 = 5.335</span>

ValentinkaMS [3465]
We will utilize Wien's displacement law, given by the equation λ T = b, where λ represents the wavelength of emitted light from a heated object at maximum. By substituting the provided temperature and constant b into the equation, we find λ for various temperatures: at 500 K, λ = 5.796 μm or 5796 nm; at 1050 K, λ = 2760 nm; at 1800 K, λ = 1610 nm; and at 2500 K, λ = 1159.2 nm. The visible light spectrum starts at 740 nm, suggesting that at 2500 K, some visible red light may emerge as its calculated peak wavelength is within the visible range.

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

F = 0.535 N

Explanation:

We will apply energy concepts, considering both the peak and the bottom of the path.

Top

   Em₀ = U = mg y

Bottom

    Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

    Emo =Em_{f}

    mg y = ½ m v²

    v = √ (2gy)

   y = L - L cos θ

  v = √ (2g L (1 - cos θ))

Next, we will employ Newton's second law at the lowest point where the acceleration is centripetal.

     F = ma

     a = v² / r

For the turning radius, the cable length is r = L.

    F = m 2g (1 - cos θ)

Now, let's find the result.

    F = 2  1.25  9.8 (1 - cos 12)

    F = 0.535 N

You are standing at the midpoint between two speakers, a distance D away from each. The speakers are playing the exact same soun
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

Explanation:

The wavelength of sound can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = velocity / frequency.

Thus, it becomes:

λ = 340 / 170

λ = 2 m.

When the person stands ideally in the center between the speakers, the sound waves reaching him are perfectly aligned (no path difference), resulting in maximum sound intensity.

As he moves closer to one of the speakers, his proximity to that speaker increases while the distance to the other speaker decreases, creating a path difference in the sound waves reaching his ears.

If he walks 0.5 m toward one speaker, the created path difference becomes:

0.5 x 2 = 1 m.

This path difference equals λ / 2, leading to destructive interference, resulting in minimal sound being audible.

As he continues walking a full 1 m, the created path difference totals 2 m.

This corresponds to a path difference of λ, causing constructive interference and maximum sound perception.

Finally, if he moves an additional 1.5 m, the resulting path difference increases to 3 m.

Thus, we arrive at a path difference of 3 λ / 2, producing destructive interference once more, leading to minimum sound being perceived again.

In summary, the man begins at a maximum intensity point, moves to minimum intensity, then back to a maximum, and ultimately ends at another minimum sound intensity position.

Astronomers determine that a certain square region in interstellar space has an area of approximately 2.4 \times 10^72.4×10 ​7 ​
Sav [3153]

Answer:

1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

Explanation:

A particular square area in interstellar space measures roughly 2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)². To find the area of a square, the following formula is utilized:

A = l²

where,

A represents the area of the square

l denotes the length of one side of the square

Thus, l = √A = √2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)² = 1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years
