The frequency of the photon emitted by a hydrogen atom is   26.2*10^-^4 hz

<h3>What are Photons?</h3>

A particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.

In the case of light, the frequency, symbolized by the Greek letter nu (ν), of any wave equals the speed of light, c, divided by the wavelength λ:

v = c/λ

Since the wavelength λ is in the bottom of the fraction, the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

v = c/λ

v= \frac{3*10^8}{434*10^-^9} = 6.91*10^1^4 Hz

By using Rydberg's formula,

1/λ = Rz^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2}  - \frac{1}{n_2^2})

1/λ = 109677 *(\frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{6^2}) = 3808.22 cm^-^1

λ  = 26.2*10^-^4 hz

26.2*10^-^4 hz is  frequency of the photon emitted by a hydrogen atom.

Calculate the drop voltage for a battery of internal resistance 2 ohm and emf of 24 volt
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>The drop voltage is 0.3 V</em>

Explanation:

Electromotive Force EMF

When connecting a battery of internal resistance Ri and EMF ε to an external resistance Re, the current through the circuit is:

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon }{R_e+R_i}

The battery has an internal resistance of Ro=2 Ω, ε=24 V and is connected to an external resistance of Re=158 Ω. Thus, the current is:

\displaystyle i=\frac{24 }{158+2}

\displaystyle i=\frac{24 }{160}

i = 0.15 A

The drop voltage is the voltage of the internal resistance:

V_i = i.R_i

V_i = 0.15*2

\boxed{V_i = 0.3\ V}

The drop voltage is 0.3 V

Key difference of the celsius scale and kevin scale
mixer [17]

Their 'degrees' are the same size.  The difference between the Celsius
and Kelvin scales is their zero-point.  Zero Kelvin is the absolute zero of
nature and Physics.  Zero Celsius is the melting/freezing point of water,
273.15 higher than absolute zero.
