I was using the formula Ep=Ek , q(V/d)= 1/2mv^2 , but not getting the answer anything wrong ? @Evoker

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/elewor.html $\large W = q \Delta V = \Delta KE$since the final speed is zero$\large q \Delta V = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } m v^2$plug in the charge of an alpha (2 times electron), and the mass (4 times the atomic mass unit)$\Large 2(1.602*10^{-19}) (1.2*10^2) = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } (6.64×10^{−27}) v^2$

thats what I did didnt get the answer

I got 3 somthing that is not matching any of the choices

OpenStudy (kittykat):

what you get ?

OpenStudy (kittykat):

Oh yea! lol sorry

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

lol no prob :)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Your original formula was wrong, though: q(V/d)= 1/2mv^2 there should be no d, just qV.

Light travels slowest through the highest refractive index

OpenStudy (kittykat):

i'll get that to later but this other I just have no idea

OpenStudy (kittykat):

any idea?

Different wavelengths refract to different angles. Remember the Pink Floyd album cover... http://ep.yimg.com/ay/pandorasboxoc/pink-floyd-dark-side-of-the-moon-tapestry-wall-hanging-1.gif As for the last "Light travels slowest through the highest refractive index " just choose the highest index - glass at 1.5 - is the slowest

OpenStudy (kittykat):

should I just memorizr this ?

1 year ago
OpenStudy (kittykat):

oh its not B beacuse its refracts straight lines not defracts (waves) right ?

1 year ago
OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes, it's A. Refract, not diffract.

Ok this one I am confused they just give one thing

OpenStudy (kittykat):

Do you wanna see the formula sheet ? that I use ?

1 year ago
OpenStudy (kittykat):

or you knwo the formulas ?

1 year ago
OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Sure. I think it's $$\large E = hf$$ you need to use first... The E would be the given value for silicon, h is plancks constant, f is frequency. Then use $$\large c = f \lambda$$

OpenStudy (kittykat):

oh beacuse my formila sheet says W= E ? so E and W same thing ?

1 year ago
OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yeah, remember that work done is equal to energy expended or supplied or w/e.

wow okey yea got it ! thank you!

Welcome!

OpenStudy (kittykat):

also I was still confused about the physics pricipls quesiton like when thy ask you what the pricnicplas are used in this question how to comnbat that?

1 year ago
OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yeah those ones are a little annoying, really. I don't really have a good way to explain it. Just try to figure out how you'd solve it, then try to match your method with things on the list of principles.

I think you just need to convert the units TeV to J.

1 year ago
OpenStudy (kittykat):

wow that easy! I always get confused thinking I have to use some kind of a formula!

1 year ago
OpenStudy (agent0smith):

haha i thought so at first too... but eV are a unit of energy. Tera is... idk i forgot but google will know.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

T is $$\large 10^{12}$$ and then just plug in the electron charge $$\large 1.602*10^{-19}$$

An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. It has two positive charges. It has a nuclear mass of 4 protons. It has an initial kinetic energy of “half m v squared” as is often said. The field between the plates works against this kinetic energy, and decelerates the particle to zero speed. The principle of conservation of energy can be used in the form that the work energy supplied by the field between the plates is used to work to decelerate and thus convert the kinetic energy of the moving alpha particle. A load of number crunching later and the answer turns out to be A I've enclosed the grinding calculation in a powerpoint show as per. I wonder how many marks the question is worth ... I also wonder whether it would be worth everyone's while just to find away of uploading the entire paper you're looking at, constants, and marks and all.

Time to make a brand new question @KittyKat as this is long enough
