Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest

wavelength in the series.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

A 4.4 nC charge exerts a repulsive force of 36 mN on a second charge which is located
zhenek [66]

The magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C. The principal of the Columb's law is used in the given problem.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Charges that are similar repel each other, whereas charges that are diametrically opposed attract each other.

They will repel, moving in opposite directions at the same speed. Because the magnitude and nature of the charge are the same.

The given data in the problem is;

q₁  is the charge 1 = 4.4 nC = 4.4 ×10⁻⁹ C

F is the repulsive force = 36 mN =36 ×10⁶ N

d is the distance = 0.70 m

The Coulomb force is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\\ \rm 36\times 10^6 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 }{(0.7)^2} \times 4.4 \times 10^{-9} \times q_2\\\\\ q_2 = 8.6241  \times 10^{-19 } \ C

Hence, the magnitude and sign of the second charge will be + 8.6241×10⁻¹⁹ C.

Before positive psychology, the main focus was mostly pathology, that is, studying various psychological issues and sometimes finding ways to treat them, or sometimes not and just studying them for the sake of studying them and noting their occurrence.

Answer:

<u>B</u>

Explanation:

Planets have different year lengths because it depends how far they revolve from a celestial body. Each planet has its own orbital period. Planets closer to the star will have a lower orbital period compared to the ones that lie far away from it.

A skydiver of mass 80kg jumps from a slow moving aircraft and reach a terminal speed of 50 m/s. What's her acceleration when her
miskamm [114]

Answer:

a = g = 9.81[m/s^2]

Explanation:

This problem can be solve using the second law of Newton.

We know that the forces acting over the skydiver are only his weight, and it is equal to the product of the mass by the acceleration.

m*g = m*a

where:

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

Note: If the skydiver will be under air resistance forces his acceleration will be different.
