Calculate the wavelengths of the first five emission lines of the Balmer series for hydrogen

Physics
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The Balmer series in a hydrogen atom relates the possible electron transitions down to the n = 2 position to the wavelength of the emission that scientists observe. In quantum physics, when electrons transition between different energy levels around the atom (described by the principal quantum number, n) they either release or absorb a photon. The Balmer series describes the transitions from higher energy levels to the second energy level and the wavelengths of the emitted photons. You can calculate this using the Rydberg formula.

A turntable that spins at a constant 80.0 rpmrpm takes 3.50 ss to reach this angular speed after it is turned on. Find its angul
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is <u>2.39 rad/s²</u>.

The number of degrees it rotates is <u>841.68 degrees</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial angular speed (ω₀) = 0 rad/s

Final angular speed in rpm (N) = 80.0 rpm

Time taken (t) = 3.50 s

First, let us determine the final angular speed in radians per second.

We know that,

\omega=\frac{2\pi N}{60}\ rad/s

Plug in the values and find the final angular speed, 'ω'. This gives,

\omega=\frac{2\pi\times 80.0}{60}=8.38\ rad/s

Now, using equation of motion for rotational motion, we have:

\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\\\\\alpha\to angular\ acceleration

Plug in the given values and solve for α. This gives,

8.38=0+\alpha \times 3.50\\\\\alpha=\frac{8.38}{3.50}=2.39\ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration is 2.39 rad/s².

Now, again using rotational equation of motion relating angular displacement, we have:

\omega^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta\\\\\theta=\frac{\omega^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha }

Plug in the given values and solve for 'θ'. This gives,

\theta=\frac{(8.38)^2-0}{2\times 2.39}\\\\\theta=\frac{70.2244}{4.78}=14.69\ rad

Convert radians to degrees using the conversion factor. This gives,

π radians = 180°

So, 1 radian =( 180 ÷ π ) degrees

Therefore, 14.69\ rad=14.69\times (\frac{180}{\pi})=841.68^\circ

So, the number of degrees it rotates is 841.68 degrees.

Ludwig Boltzmann performed a simple, but powerful experiment to gather evidence concerning the velocity distribution of a sample
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Ludwig Boltzmann was an Austrian Physicist and he performed a simple but powerful experiment to gather evidence concerning the velocity distribution of a sample of gas particles.

His experiment revealed that the way Gases are distributed in its normal form across a range of temperature is dependent on the molar mass amen temperature of the gas. Gases with high temperature move faster due to the high number of colliding particles when compared to those with low temperature. Gases with lower molar mass move faster than those with higher molar mass.

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students? Each stud
Bond [772]

Lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is a Transverse wave?</h3>
  • The wave in which the oscillation of particles is is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

  • The students can make a transverse wave by raising their hands up and then down, one student at a time.

  • The raised hand represents the oscillation of particles while the sequence of the raising hand represents the direction of energy transfer.

Therefore, lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students.

if the instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by I=3 sin theta amperes, the rms value of the current will be
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

I_{rms}=2.12\ A

Explanation:

Given that,

The instantaneous current in the circuit is giveen by :

I=3\sin\theta\ A

We need to find the rms value of the current.

The general equation of current is given by :

I=I_o\sin\theta

It means, I_o=3\ A

We know that,

I_{rms}=\dfrac{I_o}{\sqrt2}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt2}\\\\=2.12\ A

So, the rms value of current is 2.12 A.
