Homework Statement An electron traveling at a speed of 6.0 x10^7 m/s. strikes the target of an x-ray tube. Upon impact, the electron decelerates to 1/4th of its original speed, emitting an x-ray in the process. What is the wavelength of the x-ray photon?Homework Equations I think I'm suppose to...

I'm not asking for answers. I don't want straight up answers because that won't help me. The only reason I did not put down any relevant equations is because I have no idea where to even begin. Sorry if I broke the rules. So far no one has helped me with this problem and the only thing that...

Homework Statement the prism is made from glass, and its cross section is an equilateral triangle. the indices of refraction for the red and violet light are 1.662 and 1.698, respectively. the angle of incidence for both the red and violet light is 60 degrees. find the angles of refraction at...

Problem: A small postage stamp is placed in front of a concave mirror (radius=R), such that the image distance equals the object distance. (a) in terms of R, what is the object distance (b) what is the magnification of the mirror (c) state whether the image is upright or inverted relative to...

Thanks for responding. So all I have to do is look up that value for the latent heat of vaporization and that would be my final answer...I don't have to use any formula to calculate anything? I looked up the value and for 100 degrees C, the latent heat is 2260 kj/kg...would that be all?

PROBLEM: A typical 12v battery can deliver about 7.5 x 10^5 C of charge before dying. This is not very much. To get a feel for this calculate the maximum number of kilograms of water (100 degrees celsius) that could be boiled into steam (100degrees celsius) using energy from this battery. I...

This is the problem: "Determine the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between a proton and an electron, FE/FG. Furthermore, note the mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10^-31 kg and the mass of a proton is 1.672x10^-27 kg.G and K are constants." I'm not exactly sure what...
