Answer:
4. Electrons move from higher energy states to lower energy states.
Explanation:
When electrons fall from a higher (excited) energy state to a lower energy state, it loses/gives out energy.
This energy is given out by the emission of photons (quanta of light) by the electron.
Answer:
λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm
f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz
Explanation:
We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:
where,
λ = wavelength = ?
Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m
d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m
L = screen distance = 5 m
Therefore,
<u>λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm</u>
Now, the frequency can be given as:
where,
f = frequency = ?
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Therefore,
<u>f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz</u>
Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .
v = u + a t
20 = 0 + 2 t
t = 20 /2 = 10 s .
Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .
b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time
Distance travelled in first 10 s
S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²
= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²
= 100 m
Distance travelled in next 20 s
S₂= 20s x 20 m/s = 400 m
Distance travelled in last 5 s .
deceleration in last 5 s
v = u + at
0 = 20 m/s + a x 5
a = - 4 m/s²
v² = u² - 2 a s
0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s
s = 50 m
S₃ = 50 m
Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃
= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m
= 550 m .
Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s
= 15.71 m /s .
Answer:
1.84 kJ (kilojoules)
Explanation:
A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.
If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:
Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)
Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C - 20° C)
[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]
Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ
[Note that the number is positive: Energy is added to the system. If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C). The number is -1.84 kJ: the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
