Everywhere particles dont stay in one place they move elsewhere

Answer:

The wave is moving to the right, and the particles inside the wave (supposing that the wave is something like a piece of rope) are also moving up and down (in this way making the peaks and troughs of the wave), and remember that as the wave moves right, the particles also have a component moving to the right.

If we consider only the movement relative to the wave (so we are moving along with the wave) we ignore the right movement and only keep the up and down movement.

The Balmer series in hydrogen atom produces only infrared emission. O True O False

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As we know that, the Balmer series gives the n values as,

$n_{i}=2$ .

$[tex]n_{f}=3,4,5,.....\infty$ .

Now the value of wavelength can be calculated as,

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{n_{i} }-\frac{1}{n_{f} } )z^{2}$ .

Here, $R=109677 cm^{-1}$ .

And $n_{f}=3$ .

Now,

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=109677 cm^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3})$ .

Therefore,

$\lambda=\frac{6}{109677} cm\\\lambda=547\times 10^{-9} m\\ \lambda=547 nm$

Therefore, the wavelength of Balmer series lies in visible region which is 547 nm.

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

Does displacement = Δx?

Volgvan

Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.
