Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of atoms per second in the atomic beam of cadmium is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The rate of the number of molecules passing through a hole per unit area is defined as the collision flux. The number of atoms per second in an atomic beam can be found out by multiplying the effusion by the area of the hole. This is also known as the rate of effusion
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of atoms per second in the atomic beam of mercury is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An atomic beam is current of the number of atoms. The rate of the number of molecules passing through a hole per unit area is defined as the collision flux. The number of atoms per second in an atomic beam can be found out by multiplying the effusion by the area of the hole. This is also known as the rate of effusion
