Answer: stress caused by plate movement

Explanation:

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, the different types of movements being divergent, convergent and transform.

Divergent boundaries: where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries: where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries: where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

Rydberg formula is given by:

\frac{1}{\lambda } = R_{H}\times (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} )

where, R_{H} = Rydberg  constant = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} per metre

\lambda = wavelength

n_{1} and n_{2} are the level of transitions.

Now, for n_{1}= 2 and n_{2}= 6

\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{6^{2}} )

= 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{36} )

= 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0278 )

= 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times 0.23

= 0.2523958\times 10^{7}

\lambda = \frac{1}{0.2523958\times 10^{7}}

= 3.9620\times 10^{-7} m

= 396.20\times 10^{-9} m

= 396.20 nm

Now, for n_{1}= 2 and n_{2}= 5

\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times  10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{5^{2}} )

= 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.04 )

= 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.21 )

= 0.230 \times  10^{7}

\lambda= \frac{1}{0.230 \times 10^{7}}

= 4.3478 \times 10^{-7} m

= 434.78\times 10^{-9} m

= 434.78 nm

Now, for n_{1}= 2 and n_{2}= 4

\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times  10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}} )

=  1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0625 )

= 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.1875 )

= 0.20575 \times 10^{7}

\lambda= \frac{1}{0.20575 \times 10^{7}}

= 4.8602 \times 10^{-7} m

= 486.02 \times 10^{-9} m

= 486.02 nm

Now, for n_{1}= 2 and n_{2}= 3

\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} )

=  1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.12 )

=  1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.13 )

= 0.1426585\times 10^{7}

\lambda= \frac{1}{0.1426585\times 10^{7}}

= 7.0097 \times 10^{-7} m

= 700.97 \times 10^{-9} m

= 700.97 nm

A. Calculate the empirical formula of a molecule with percent compositions: 55.3% potassium (K), 14.6% phosphorus (P), and 30.1%
Otrada [13]
The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)

If an ideal gas has a pressure of 5.49 atm, a temperature of 88.78 °c, and has a volume of 22.03 l, how many moles of gas are in
kirza4 [7]
N = (PV)/RT
(T = 88.78 + 273 = 361.78K)
(R = 22.4/273 = 0.082)
= (5.49 x 22.03)/(0.082 x 361.78) = ?
