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 = 2.18 × 10–18 J)

Answer:

λ = 3.4 × 10^18m

Explanation:using Rydberg equation:

1/λ = RH •Z^2[ (1/n1) - (1/n2) ]

RH = Rydberg constant = 2.18x 10^-18j)

n1 and n2 = energy levels (n2 >n1)

Z = atomic number = 4

Substitute

1/λ = 2.18x 10^-18• [ (1/3) - (1/5) }

λ = 3.4 × 10^18m

What is the strength of an electric field that will put a force of<br> 1.28 x 10-15 N on a proton?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: E =  7,490.6 N/C

Explanation:

If we have a field E, and a particle with a charge q, the force that the particle experiences is:

F = E*q

In this case, we know that the force is:

F = 1.2*10^(-15) N

And we know that the particle is a proton, where the charge of a proton is:

q = 1.602*10^(-19) C

Then we can replace these two values in the equation to get:

1.2*10^(-15) N = E*1.602*10^(-19) C

We just need to isolate E.

(1.2*10^(-15) N)/(1.602*10^(-19) C) = E

7,490.6 N/C = E

That is the strength of the electric field.
