Answer:
14,700 N
Explanation:
The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:
(1)
the weight of the hyppo is
where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find
Answer:
Explanation:
When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.
In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:
where
is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)
n is the refractive index of the medium
In this problem:
is the original wavelength of the wave
n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil
Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:
Answer:
λ = 102.78 nm
This radiation is in the UV range,
Explanation:
Bohr's atomic model for the hydrogen atom states that the energy is
E = - 13.606 / n²
where 13.606 eV is the ground state energy and n is an integer
an atom transition is the jump of an electron from an initial state to a final state of lesser emergy
ΔE = 13.606 (1 / - 1 / n_{i}^{2})
the so-called Lyman series occurs when the final state nf = 1, so the second line occurs when ni = 3, let's calculate the energy of the emitted photon
DE = 13.606 (1/1 - 1/3²)
DE = 12.094 eV
let's reduce the energy to the SI system
DE = 12.094 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 ev) = 10.35 10⁻¹⁹ J
let's find the wavelength is this energy, let's use Planck's equation to find the frequency
E = h f
f = E / h
f = 19.35 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴
f = 2.9186 10¹⁵ Hz
now we can look up the wavelength
c = λ f
λ = c / f
λ = 3 10⁸ / 2.9186 10¹⁵
λ = 1.0278 10⁻⁷ m
let's reduce to nm
λ = 102.78 nm
This radiation is in the UV range, which occurs for wavelengths less than 400 nm.
