By taring a balance the process of weighing by difference is done automatically. When a balance is tared with an object on the balance pan, the weight of the object will be automatically subtracted from every reading until the balance is re-tared or zeroed.

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme

boyakko [2]

Answer: The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

Explanation:

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = $n_i+1=(2+1)=3$

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m$

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

$1m=10^9nm$

So, $6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm$

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

A collection of 6. 25×1018 electrons has the charge of.

Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

1)The charge of one electron is given by

1 e = - 1.6 * 10-19 C

Then – 1 C = 1 e / ( 1.6 * 10-19 )

= 6.25 * 1018 e

So one-coulomb charge has 6.25 * 1018 electrons

2)Let q1 and q2 be two charges separated by a distance r

Then q1 = - 40 µC = - 40 * 10-6 C

And q2 = 108 µC = 108 * 10-6 C
