Calculate the wavelengths of the first five members of the lyman series of spectral lines

Physics
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago

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

An apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of water in a container. The apple is then moved to a deeper point
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the apple is held submerged in water , it experiences a buoyant force due to which it floats in water . One has to apply downward force to keep it submerged. The lower the buoyant force , lower the force needed to submerge it in water.

When apple is held at much deeper point , it experience greater pressure due to column of water around it . So its size or its volume decreases . But its weight remains the same . Due to less volume , buoyant force also decreases ( buoyant force is equal to weight of displaced volume of water. )

Due to buoyant force becoming less , force needed on apple  in downward direction will also be less.

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck.  So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!
