c) 6.25 m/s
Explanation:
a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength is the distance between to crests; this means we have

Clearing :
b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:
If 10 waves ---- 16 s
1 wave -----
Then:
This is the period of the wave
On the other hand, the frequency of the wave has an inverse relation with its period
:
This is the frequency of the wave
c) The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:
Finally:
Answer:
the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases
Explanation:
The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:
where
is a constant
n is the level number
We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as
We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is
While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is
And so on.
So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.
