Answer to Problem 1CQ

Proton is the other particle emerged in the experiment.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Rutherford bombarded a sample of nitrogen gas with a beam of alpha particles.

Proton is a positively charged particle with magnitude is equal to that of electronic charge .the mass of the proton is 1835 times the mass of the electron.

In Alpha particle scattering experiment, Along with the deflected alpha particles, a positively charged particles were emitted. Rutherford observed the new particle behaving like nuclei of hydrogen atom.

By repeated experiment with gases he confirmed that it is new particle in side the nucleus and called as proton.

Conclusion:

Thus, Proton is the other particle emerged in the experiment.

(b)

To determine

The conclusion of the experiment.

Answer to Problem 1CQ

The protons are coming from the nucleus because no proton presented in the initial state.

Explanation of Solution

In the alpha particle experiment the mass of the a beam of alpha particles were bombarded with nitrogen gas while only few were deflected most of them passed through the gas. A new particles were observed with positive charge with magnitude equal to electronic charge.

These particle behaved like hydrogen nucleus and Rutherford observed these particle in other gas medium like helium, nitrogen and carbon. So he confirmed that hydrogen nucleus is a basic constituent of the nucleus of other elements. This particle named proton. Since only few observed he confirmed it is coming from the nucleus.

Conclusion:

Thus, the protons are coming from the nucleus because no proton presented in the initial state.

Consider a image that is located 30 cm in front of a lens. It forms an upright image 7.5 cm from the lens. Theillumination is so bright that that a faint inverted image, due to reflection off the front of the lens, is observedat 6.0 cm on the incident side of the lens. The lens is then turned around. Then it is observed that the faint,inverted image is now 10 cm on the incident side of the lens.What is the index of refraction of the lens?
2. In class, we discussed several different flow scenarios for which we can make enough assumptions to simplify the Navier-Stokes equations enough to solve them and obtain an exact solution.
