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

Calculate the force on an object with mass of 50kg and gravity of 10​
GarryVolchara [31]
Answer: 500 N

Explanation:

The formula to find the force exerted by a mass, we may use F = mg, where g, the gravity, and a, the acceleration, can be interchangeable in the formula.

1) F = 50 x 10
2) F = 500 N

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

A force of 4 kg weight acts on a body of mass 9.8 kg calculate the acceleration
White raven [17]

Answer:

here given is a weight

then force becomes mg

that is F=Mg

=4*9.8

then by using the formula

F=Ma

a=F/M

=4*9.8/9.8

=4

how much force would be required to produce 88 j of work when pushing a box 1.1meters at an angle of 10 degrees?
ycow [4]

Answer:81.235N

Explanation:

Work=88J

theta=10°

distance=1.1 meters

work=force x cos(theta) x distance

88=force x cos10 x 1.1 cos10=0.9848

88=force x 0.9848 x 1.1

88=force x 1.08328

Divide both sides by 1.08328

88/1.08328=(force x 1.08328)/1.08328

81.235=force

Force=81.235

3.00 m^3 of water is at 20.0°C.
romanna [79]

Answer:

\triangle V = 0.02484m^3

Explanation:

Given

V_1 = 3.00m^3 --- initial volume

T_1 = 20.0^oC --- initial temperature

T_2 = 60.0^oC --- final temperature

\gamma = 207*10^{-6 ---  coefficient of thermal expansion:

Required

The change in volume

To do this, we make use of cubic expansivity formula

\triangle V = \gamma * V_2 * (T_2 - T_1)

So, we have:

\triangle V = 207 * 10^{-6} * 3.00 * (60.0 - 20.0)

\triangle V = 207 * 10^{-6} * 3.00 * 40.0

\triangle V = 0.02484m^3

The volume will expand by 0.02484m^3
