Question
Chapter 17, Problem 5A
To determine
To Compare: The size of the atoms with the
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The smallest particle of matter is an atom. Atoms are not visible under visible light.
The size of atom is much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light that’s why atoms are not visible under visible light. Atoms are almost 10000 times smaller than visible light.
Conclusion:
The wavelength of visible light is much larger than size of atom.

During a typical mission, the aircraft makes approximately 30 to 40 parabolic arcs. During each arc, the aircraft and objects inside it are in free-fall, and passengers float freely in apparent "weightlessness." The figure below shows the altitude of the aircraft during a typical mission. It climbs from 24,000 ft to 30,850 ft, where it begins a parabolic arc with a velocity of 155 m/s at 45.0° nose-high and exits with velocity 155 m/s at 45.0° nose-low. 31 000 45° nose high 45° nose low 24 000 Zero g 65 Maneuver time (s) (a) What is the aircraft's speed (in m/s) at the top of the parabolic arc? 110.0 m/s (b) What is the aircraft's altitude (in ft) at the top of the parabolic arc? 2.04e+04 What is the initial height at the start of the parabolic arc?
