We say that visible light has wavelength from 400nm to roughly 800nm. What is the biggest "energy-jump" (excited) for an atom if

the photon which was sent out was visible? What's the biggest "energy-jump"?
(Give the answer in joules)

thanks !! ;-)

Answer:

4.98\cdot 10^{-19} J

Explanation:

The energy of the emitted photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, according to the equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck's constant

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

This means that the biggest energy is released when the wavelength is the shortest. For a photon of visible light, the shortest wavelength is

\lambda=400 nm = 400\cdot 10^{-9} m

So, substituting into the equation, we find the corresponding energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{400\cdot 10^{-9}}=4.98\cdot 10^{-19} J

A negative charge is at rest at the origin of an axis system. Location x is at coordinate point (2m,3m) while location y is at (
Sergeu [11.5K]
The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.

Location ' x ' is  √(2² + 3²) = √13 m  from the charge.

Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.

The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.

The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.

Determine if the data are qualitative, quantitative, or neither. Zinc is a silver-gray metal. Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L.
AysviL [449]

Qualitative data gives the information of quality which can not be measured in numbers. For example: Color of eyes, softness of skin.

Quantitative data is information of quantity that can be represented in numbers. For example length and mass of any object.

Zinc is a silver-gray metal is a qualitative data, here silver gray color is quality of zinc metal which can not be measured in numbers.

Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L is a quantitative data. The value of density can be compared with other elements by comparing the numbers.

Gallium is not found in nature is neither qualitative nor quantitative.

Nitrogen has a melting point of –210.00 °C is a quantitative data because this is expressed in numbers.

Aluminum is a solid is a qualitative data because it tells about the state of element which can not be measured in numbers.

A small steel roulette ball rolls around the inside of a 30 cm diameter roulette wheel. It is spun at 150 rpm, but is slows to 6
liraira [26]

Solution :

Given

Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm

The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm

The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm

Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60

                                                                      = 90 rpm

Therefore,

90 revolutions in 1 minute

or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times

i.e. 1 min = 90 rev

     60 sec = 90 rev

        1 sec = 90/ 60 rec

         5 sec = $\frac{90}{60}\times 5$

                   = 75 rev

Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.

What comes first the color orange or the fruit orange
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Given the exoticism of the orange fruit, you could be forgiven that the color came first as it naturally occurs independent of the fruit such as in sunsets or leaves in autumn. Orange actually comes from the Old French word for the citrus fruit - 'pomme d'orenge' - according to the Collins dictionary.
