Hydrogen line spectrum lies entirely within visible range

No, that's silly.

You've got your Pfund series where electrons fall down to the 5th level,
your Brackett series where they fall to the 4th level, and your Paschen
series where they fall to the 3rd level.  All of those transitions ploop out
photons at Infrared wavelengths.

THEN next you get your Balmer series, where the electrons fall in
to the 2nd level.  Most of those are at visible wavelengths, but even
a few of the Balmer transitions are in the Ultraviolet.

And then there's the Lyman series, where electrons fall all the way
down to the #1 level.  Those are ALL in the ultraviolet.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

A ball is released from rest at a height of 10 m and falls freely to the
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is found using this formula:

  • KE = 1/2mv²
  • where KE = kinetic energy (J), m = mass (kg), and v = velocity (m/s)

We can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if the speed was increased by 4 times, then the kinetic energy would get increased by a factor of 16.

The velocity just before the ball hits the ground can be found by the equation:

  • √(2gh)

Let's substitute h = 10 m and h = 40 m into this formula.

  • √(2g(10))
  • √(2g(40))

We can see that the velocity increases by a factor of 4 (10 m → 40 m).

Therefore, this means that the kinetic energy would also be increased by a factor of (4)² = 16. Thus, the answer is D) The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.
