Answer:

False

Explanation:

As we know that, the Balmer series gives the n values as,

n_{i}=2.

[tex]n_{f}=3,4,5,.....\infty.

Now the value of wavelength can be calculated as,

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{n_{i} }-\frac{1}{n_{f} } )z^{2}.

Here, R=109677 cm^{-1}.

And n_{f}=3.

Now,

\frac{1}{\lambda}=109677 cm^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}).

Therefore,

\lambda=\frac{6}{109677} cm\\\lambda=547\times 10^{-9} m\\ \lambda=547 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of Balmer series lies in visible region which is 547 nm.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Balmer series produce visible light in the hydrogen atom spectrum.

Balmer series corresponds to a transition from higher energy level to an energy level corresponding to principal quantum number, n = 2.

This transition results in the hydrogen atom spectra of 4 different wavelengths of the visible light which includes 434 nm, 410 nm, 486 nm and 656 nm.

Its not Balmer series that produces all wavelengths of light of infrared emission but its Paschen series that produces all wavelengths in the infra red region of the hydrogen atom spectrum

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:
A) object moves 20 N [West] or -20 N [East]
B) object moves 6 N [South] or -6 N [North]
C) object moves 90 N [West] or -90 N [East]
D) object does not move and is at rest*

*Rest means 0


Why:

A)both forces from north and south that are pushing against the object neutralize each other. Assume that north is positive and south is negative: 20 [N] + (-20) [S] = 0
On West and east, you can see that west has a greater force. Assume that west is negative and east is positive: 50 [E] + (-70) [W] = -20 [E]

A constant amount of charge passes through a conductor. How is current affected if the same amount of charge passes in less time
baherus [9]

Answer:

B. The current increases.

Explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge through the conductor is known as electric current

So we have

i = \frac{q}{t}

here we know that charge Q flowing through the conductor is constant while the time in which it passes through it is decreased

so we can say that the ratio of charge and time will increase

so here we have

i = increased

So correct answer will be

B. The current increases.

The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe, without exception,
STatiana [176]
A. attract each other.

The Law of Universal Gravitation discusses the phenomenon of gravity. Remember that gravity is the force that keeps us on Earth; the Earth pulls us down, and our bodies pull back.  Gravity is the force of attraction, so the correct answer is a).
