This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3

The electron moves to energy level n = 3

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The term of package of electromagnetic wave radiation energy was first introduced by Max Planck. He termed it with photons with the magnitude is :

\large {\boxed {E = h \times f}}

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>h = Planck's Constant ( 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js )</em>

<em>f = Frequency of Eletromagnetic Wave ( Hz )</em>

\texttt{ }

The photoelectric effect is an effect in which electrons are released from the metal surface when illuminated by electromagnetic waves with large enough of radiation energy.

\large {\boxed {E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \Phi}}

\large {\boxed {E = qV + \Phi}}

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>m = Mass of an Electron ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Electron Release Speed ( m/s )</em>

<em>Ф = Work Function of Metal ( Joule )</em>

<em>q = Charge of an Electron ( Coulomb )</em>

<em>V = Stopping Potential ( Volt )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial shell = n₁ = 5

wavelength = λ = 1282.17 nm = 1.28217 × 10⁻⁶ m

<u>Unknown:</u>

final shell = n₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use this following formula to solve this problem:</em>

\Delta E = R (\frac{1}{(n_2)^2} - \frac{1}{(n_1)^2})

h \frac{c}{\lambda} = R (\frac{1}{(n_2)^2} - \frac{1}{(n_1)^2})

6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times \frac{3 \times 10^8}{1.28217 \times 10^{-6}} = 2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times ( \frac{1}{(n_2)^2} - \frac{1}{5^2})

1.55128 \times 10^{-19} = 2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times ( \frac{1}{(n_2)^2} - \frac{1}{5^2})

( \frac{1}{(n_2)^2} - \frac{1}{5^2}) = \frac{16}{225}

\frac{1}{(n_2)^2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{16}{225}

\frac{1}{(n_2)^2} = \frac{1}{9}

(n_2)^2 = 9

n_2 = \sqrt{9}

\boxed{n_2 = 3}

givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a

divide both sides by 40

a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2

The loudness l of a sound, measured in decibels, is given by l=10log10r, where r is the sound's relative intensity. suppose one
marishachu [46]

Answer

given,                              

I is the loudness of sound

I = 10 Log₁₀ r                  

r is relative intensity                    

at when relative intensity is 10⁶        

I = 60 dB                                                  

how much louder when 100 people would be talking together

I = 10 Log₁₀ r                

I = 10 Log₁₀ (10⁶ x 100)  

I = 10 Log₁₀ (10⁸)                

I = 80 dB                      

hence, the intensity will be increased by (80 dB -60 dB) 20 dB when 100 people start talking together.
