Expression for the Balmer series to find the wavelength of the spectral line is as follows:
1 / λ = R (\frac{1}{2^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ n^{2}} )
Where, λ is wavelength, R is Rydberg constant, and n is integral value (4 here →  Fourth level) 
Substitute 1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ for R and 4 for n in the above equation 
1 / λ = (1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹) (\frac{1}{2^{2} } -  \frac{1}{4^{2} }  ) 
   = 0.20568 x 10⁷ m⁻¹
λ = 4.86 x 10⁻⁷ m 
since 1 m = 10⁹ nm
λ = 486 nm

Answer:

Explanation:

This type of experiment was carried out in 1960s on rodents, it was partially successful but was perceived impractical and dangerous for humans,it is possible theoretically.

Oxygen is broken down or dissolves in a thin film of fluid in the alveoli, surprisingly in normal breathing liquid composed of dissolved oxygen is involved. Evidently respiratory gas must be able to dissolve in this liquid and in concentration required to keep the partial pressure necessary to power diffusion.

Can you force the atoms into new configurations by pushing atoms around
marta [7]
<span>No, this is not possible. The reason for this impossibility is that the electrons are not attracted to one another, and thus, would repel. If you were to push the atoms into each other, the electrons would then prevent this from happening. Essentially atoms will bounce off of one another due to the repel of charges.</span>
