Answer:

  λ₂ = 1,219 10⁻⁷ m , λ₃ = 1.028 10⁻⁷ m ,   λ₄ = 0.9741 10⁻⁷ m , λ₅ = 0.9510 10⁻⁷ m and  λ₆ = 0.9395 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

To calculate the lines of the hydrogen liman series, we can use the Bohr atom equation

           En = -13.606 / n²       [eV]

n       En

1       -13,606

2       -13.606 / 4 =    -3.4015

3       -13.606 / 9 =    -1.5118

4       -13.606 / 16 =  -0.8504

5       -13.606 / 25 = -0.5442

6       -13.606 / 36 = -0.3779

The lyma series are transitions where the state is fundamental (E1), let's calculate the first five transitions

State

initial final energy

6           1      -0.3779 - (- 13.606) =  13.23 eV

5           1      -0.5442 - (- 13.606) =  13.06 eV

4           1      -0.8504- (-13.606) =   12.76 eV

3            1      -1.5118 - (- 13.606) =   12.09 eV

2            1      -3.4015 - (- 13.606) = 10.20 eV

Let's use the relationship between the speed of light and the wavelength and the frequency

      c = λ  f

      f = c / λ  

Planck's relationship for energy

     E = h f

     E = h c / λ

    λ = hc / E

We calculate for each energy

E = 10.20 eV

      λ  = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / (10.20 1.6 10⁻¹⁹)

      λ  = 12.43 10⁻⁷ / 10.20

      λ₂ = 1,219 10⁻⁷ m

E = 12.09 eV

     λ₃ = 12.43 10⁻⁷ / 12.09

     λ₃ = 1.028 10⁻⁷ m

E = 12.76 eV

      λ₄ = 12.43 10⁻⁷ /12.76

      λ₄ = 0.9741 10⁻⁷ m

E = 13.06 ev

      λ₅=  12.43 10⁻⁷ /13.06

       λ₅ = 0.9510 10⁻⁷ m

E = 13.23 eV

      λ₆ = 12.43 10⁻⁷ / 13.23

      λ₆ = 0.9395 10⁻⁷ m

saul85 [17]

32N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 3kg

velocity of the mass = 4m/s

radius of circle = 0.75m

Unknown:

centripetal acceleration = ?

centripetal force = ?

Solution:

The centripetal force is the force that keeps a radial body in its circular motion. It is directed inward:

   Centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   v is the velocity of the body

    r is the radius of the circle

  putting in the parameters:

   Centripetal acceleration = \frac{4^{2} }{0.75}

    Centripetal acceleration = 10.67m/s²

Centripetal force = m  \frac{v^{2} }{r}

          m is the mass

 Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

                              = 3 x 10.67

                              = 32N

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

Given that a ball is released from a vertical height of 20 cm. It rolls down a "perfectly frictionless" ramp and up a similar ramp. What vertical height on the second ramp will the ball reach before it starts to roll back down?

Since it is perfectly frictionless, the Kinetic energy in which the ball is rolling will be equal to the potential energy at the edge of the ramp.

Therefore, the ball will reach 20 cm before it starts to roll back down.
