Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

Calculate the mass (in SI units) of (a) a 160 lb human being; (b) a 1.9 lb cockatoo. Calculate the weight (in English units) of
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb

Hence, this is the required solution.

1. In an atom, an electron and a proton are separated by a distance of 1 x 10-8m. a) Find the force on the electron. b) Assuming
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

(a) 2.3 x 10^-12 N

(b) 1.6 x 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

q1 = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

q2 = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

r = 1 x 10^-8 m

(a) the electrostatic force is given by

F = K q1 x q2 / r^2

F = ( 9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (1 x 10-^-8)^2

F = 2.3 x 10^-12 N

The force is attractive in nature because the nature of charge on electron and proton s opposite to each other.

(b) The electrostatic force is balanced by the centripetal force actig on the electron.

F = mv^2 / r

where, r be the radius of orbit and v be the velocity of electron in the orbit.

2.3 x 10^-12 = (9.1 x 10^-31 x v^2) / (1 x 10^-8)

v = 1.6 x 10^5 m/s
