Question
Chapter 33, Problem 1RCQ
To determine
Discovery of Roentgen about cathode-ray beam striking a glass surface.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:Roentgen discovers the emission of new kind of rays (X-ray).
Explanation of Solution
In year 1895, when German scientist Rontgen passes the cathode ray beam striking a glass surface, he found an unknown wave that could penetrate the solid materials, and could ionize the air. The ray showed no refraction in glass, and does not deflect in the presence of magnetic fields.
Rontgen names this high frequency
Conclusion:
When a cathode ray beam strikes a glass, then Rontgen discovered a new kind or ray termed as X-ray.

A particle of mass m slides in a straight line (say along i) on a surface, with initial position x ©0 and initial velocity Vo > 0 at t = 0. The = particle is subject to a constant force F = -mai, with a > 0. While sliding on the surface, the particle is also subject to a friction force v Ff = -m fo = −m fov, with fo > 0, i.e., the friction force has constant magnitude mfo and is always opposed to the motion. We also assume fo 0, and solve it to find v(t) and x(t). How long does it take for the particle to come to a stop? How far does it travel? (b) After coming to a stop, the particle starts sliding backwards with negative velocity. Write the equation of motion in this case, and solve it to find the time at which the particle returns to the original position, x = 0.

Next, verify your result using dimensional analysis, assuming that the general relation is of the form v = khag³m, where k is a dimensionless constant.arrow_forward
