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

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)
valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.022 m/s^2

distance = 8.3 x 10^7 m

speed = 1.9 x 10 ^3 m/s

Explanation:

the parameters given are:

mass = 900kg

force = 20N

  • from the formula force = mass x acceleration

acceleration = force / mass

acceleration = 20 / 900

acceleration = 0.022 m/s^2

  • distance travelled in 1 day (86,400 seconds) = (1/2) x a x t^2

   (1/2) x 0.022 x (86,400^2) = 8.3 x 10^7 m

  • speed of the sun yatch (v) = a x t

0.22 x 86400 = 1.9 x 10 ^3 m/s

Two atoms that are isotopes of one another must have the same number of what?
fredd [130]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Two atoms which are isotopes of one another must have a different number of neutrons.

Isotopes are defined as atoms of the same element which have the same numbers of protons i.e. atomic number remains the same, but has different numbers of neutrons. It is observed that they have same chemical properties due to the same electronic configuration but physical properties differs.
