Aresearcher is analyzing data from a high-energy particle collision. the result of the analysis gives a value of 8.8 x 10-19 c ± 0.1 x 10-19 c for the charge of one of the emitted particles. should the researcher accept the value?

Elementary charge used to determine charges of other objects is equal to a charge of electron or proton. It's value is roughly $1.6* 10^{-19} C$ . All other charges are whole-number multipliers of this elementary charge, meaning that we multiply elementary charge by {...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...}.

To find out if the measured charge can be accepted we need to divide it with elementary charge to see if we get whole number as result.
There are three possible values of measured charge: $8.7* 10^{-19} C\\ 8.8* 10^{-19} C \\ 8.9* 10^{-19} C$

$N_{1} = \frac{8.7* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.44 \\ N_{2} = \frac{8.8* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.5 \\ N_{3} = \frac{8.9* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.56$

As we can see none of the possible values of a measured charge is whole-number multiplier of elementary charge so the researcher should not accept the value.
This charge can be achieved by using quarks which have value of 1/3 of elementary charge but they do not remain stable for long enough.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Protons have a positive charge and, collectively, give an element its atomic number.

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
