Describe the general properties of nucleus.

General Properties of Nucleus: (i) Nuclear Size: From Rutherford’s work, the mean radius of nucleus is  and the radius of the atom is . Thus the radius of the nucleus is 10,000 times smaller than the radius of the atom. The empirical formula for the nuclear radius is, Here, A is the mass number,  is a constant. From …

Derive the de Broglie wavelength for a charged particle of charge q and accelerated through a potential difference of V volts.

The Required de Broglie Wavelength: A photon of light of frequency  has the momentum, But, . Therefore, the momentum of the photon can be expressed in terms of wavelength λ as, The wavelength of a photon is, therefore, specified by its momentum according to the relation, de Broglie suggested that the above equation is applicable for any …

Derive the Einstein’s photoelectric equation.

Einstein’s Photoelectric Equation :  According to Einstein, light of frequency  consists of a shower of photons, is of energy . When a photon of light of frequency  is incident on a metal, a part of the energy acquired by the electron is used to pull out the electron from the surface of the metal and the rest of …

What do you mean by electric flux or flux of the electric field?

Electric Flux For an arbitrary closed surface, the net outward flow or flux is the product of the average outdrawn normal component of the vector and the area of surface. Electric flux is used to express the relation between  and its source. Flux is denoted by   = (average normal component)×(surface area) The unit of electric flux …
