<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

How is geothermal produced
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.

A particular first-order reaction has a rate constant of 1.35 × 102 s-1 at 25.0°C. What is the magnitude of k at 95.0°C if Ea =
never [62]

Answer:

k ≈ 9,56x10³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this question using Arrhenius formula:

ln\frac{k2}{k1} = \frac{-Ea}{R} (\frac{1}{T2} -\frac{1}{T1} )

Where:

k1: 1,35x10² s⁻¹

T1: 25,0°C + 273,15 = 298,15K

Ea = 55,5 kJ/mol

R = 8,314472x10⁻³ kJ/molK

k2 : ???

T2: 95,0°C+ 273,15K = 368,15K

Solving:

ln\frac{k2}{k1} = 4,257

\frac{k2}{k1} = 70,593

{k2} = 9,53x10^3 s^{-1}

<em>k ≈ 9,56x10³ s⁻¹</em>

I hope it helps!
