The answer is n= 6.

What is Balmer series?

The Balmer series is the portion of the emission spectrum of hydrogen that represents electron transitions from energy levels n > 2 to n = 2. These are four lines in the visible spectrum. They are also known as the Balmer lines. The four visible Balmer lines of hydrogen appear at 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm and 656 nm.

For the Balmer series, the final energy level is always n=2. So, the wavelengths 653.6, 486.1, 434.0, and 410.2 nm correspond to n=3, n=4, n=5, and n=6 respectively. Since the last wavelength, 410.2 nm, corresponds to n=6, the next wavelength should logically correspond to n=7.

To solve for the wavelength, calculate the individual energies, E2 and E7, using E=-hR/(n^2). Then, calculate the energy difference between E2 (which is the final) and E7 (which is the initial). Finally, use lamba=hc/E to get the wavelength.

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

Find a parametric representation for the surface. The plane through the origin that contains the vectors i - j and j - k
boyakko [2]

Answer:

parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u ,  z = - v

Explanation:

Given vectors :

i - j ,  j - k

represent the vector equation of the plane as:

r ( u, v ) = r₀ + <em>u</em>a + vb

where:  r₀ = position vector

            u and v = real numbers

             a and b = nonparallel vectors

expressing the nonparallel vectors as :

a = i -j , b = j - k , r = ( x,y,z ) and r₀ = ( x₀, y₀, z₀ )

hence we can express vector equation of the plane as

r(u,v) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v,  z₀ - v )

Finally the parametric representation of the surface through (0,0,0) i.e. origin = 0

( x, y , z ) = ( x₀ + u,  y₀ - u + v,   z₀ - v )

x = 0 + u ,

y = 0 - u + v

z = 0 - v

∴ parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u ,  z = - v

The inner planets formed:
Ivan

Answer:

a. by collisions and mergers of planetesimals.

Explanation:

Inner planets are planets within 1.5 AU distance from the sun. These are called terrestrial planets because they are somewhat similar to Earth, mainly made of rocks.

The main ingredient of these planets are solar nebula and interstellar dust condensation of which leads to formation of small rock particles. These particles come close to each other under in the influence of gravity and other forces. As the mass of the particles increase they form planetesimals, these planetesimals eventually merge to form planets.
