Describe and open, closed, and isolated system

An open system can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings. Δ H is measured when
an open system is used as a calorimeter.

A closed system has a fixed amount of matter, but it can exchange energy with the surroundings. Δ U is
measured when a closed system is used as a calorimeter because there is no change in volume and thus no
expansion work can be done.

An isolated system has no contact with its surroundings. The universe is considered an isolated system but on
a less profound scale, your thermos for keeping liquids hot approximates an isolated system.

When an electron falls from a higher to a lower energy level in an atom, the photon released has a wavelength of 121.6 nm. What

yarga [219]

Answer:

$\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

The energy difference between the energy levels involved in the transition of the electron is directly proportional to the frequency of the emitted photon:

$\Delta E=h\nu(1)$

Where h is the Planck constant. The photon's frequency is inversely proportional to its wavelegth:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)$

Here c is the speed of light. Replacing (2) in (1):

$\Delta E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Delta E=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34}J\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{121.6*10^{-9}m}\\\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J$

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound

adell [148]

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.

Once juno reaches jupiter, what is the minimum amount of time it takes for the transmitted signals to travel from the spacecraft

Komok [63]

In very very very round figures . . .

-- Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the sun as the earth is.

-- So when Jupiter and the EARTH are aligned in both orbits, Jupiter is about

(4.2) x (150 million kilometers) = 630 million kilometers

Time = (distance) / (speed)

The speed of light and radio is 300,000 km/second

Time = (630 million / 300 thousand)
