Line spectra from all regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, including the Paschen series of infrared lines for hydrogen, are

used by astronomers to identify elements present in the atmospheres of stars. Calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted when the hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from n = 5 to n = 3. (R = 2.179 x 10-18 J R = 1.096776 x 10^7 m-1) A. 205.1 nm B. 384.6 nm C. 683.8 nm D. 1282 nm E. > 1500 nm

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Using Rydberg's Equation for hydrogen atom:

\bar{\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\bar{\nu} = Wave number

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant

n_f = Higher energy level

n_i= Lower energy level

We have:

n_f=5, n_i=3

R_H=1.096776\times 10^7 m^{-1}

\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.096776\times 10^7 m^{-1}\times \left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} \right )

\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.096776\times 10^7 m^{-1}\times \frac{16}{225}

\lambda =1.2822\times 10^{-6} m=1282.2 nm\approx 1282 nm

(1 m= 10^9 nm)

The wavelength of the photon emitted when the hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from n = 5 to n = 3 is 1282 nm.

noname [10]

Answer:

Option B:Publishing scientific journals

Explanation:

We are told that Lindsey is trying to gain credibility for her studies.

Since she completed her experiment and discussed her finding with colleagues, the most logical next step would be to publish scientific journals. This is because the other options given are not steps that should be taken because she has completed the research and therefore has no need to speak at a conference next nor even create new charts which they must have done during the research. No need for her to make sure the topic is popular.

Option B is correct

Why is the water cycle called a cycle and not a system?

It is called a cycle because it is repetitive, therefore making it a cycle (or almost never ending)
