Answer:

486nm

Explanation:

in order for an electron to transit from one level to another, the wavelength emitted is given by Rydberg Equation which states that

\frac{1}{wavelength}=R.[\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2} } -\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2} }] \\n_{f}=2\\n_{i}=4\\R=Rydberg constant =1.097*10^{7}m^{-1}\\subtitiute \\\frac{1}{wavelength}=1.097*10^{7}[\frac{1}{2^{2} } -\frac{1}{4^{2}}]\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 1.097*10^{7}*0.1875\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 2.06*10^{6}\\wavelength=4.86*10{-7}m\\wavelength= 486nm\\

Hence the photon must possess a wavelength of 486nm in order to send the electron to the n=4 state

A grating has 2000 slits/cm/cm. How many full spectral orders can be seen (400 to 700 nmnm) when it is illuminated by white ligh
Anton [14]

With the use of the formula SinФ = nλ / d, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.

Given that a grating has 2000 slits/cm. That is,

d = 0.01 / 2000

d = 5 x 10^{-6} m

The wavelength λ = (700 - 400) nm

λ = 300 x 10^{-9} m

To calculate how many full spectral orders that can be seen (400 to 700 nm) when it is illuminated by white light, we will use the below formula

SinФ = nλ / d

Φ = Sin^{-1} (nλ / d)

When n = 1

Φ = Sin^{-1}(300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Φ = 3.4 degrees

when n = 2

Φ = Sin^{-1}(2 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = 6.9 degrees

When n = 3

Ф = Sin^{-1}(3 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

When n = 16

Ф = Sin^{-1}(16 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = Sin^{-1}(0.96)

Ф = 73.7 degrees

when n = 17

Ф = Sin^{-1}(17 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = Sin^{-1}(1.05)

Ф = Error ( that is, it does not exist)

Therefore, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.

A block of mass 14.9 kg is pulled to the right by an applied force of 39.4 N. If it moves with constant velocity, how much frict
lakkis [162]

The frictional force is 39.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on the block is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. So we can write

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we know that the box is moving with constant velocity, so its acceleration is zero:

a=0

This means that the net force is also zero:

\sum F=0

The net force on the block is given by the applied force, forward, and the frictional force, backward:

\sum F = F_a-F_f=0

where

F_a=39.4 N is the applied force

F_f is the frictional force

Therefore, solving for F_f,

F_f=F_a=39.4 N

Use the table below to calculate the acceleration of the object. Time (s) 0.0 3.0 6.0 9.0 Velocity (m/s) 0.0 1.2 2.4 3.6
antiseptic1488 [7]

explanation

a=average velocity/average time

average velocity=0.0+1.2+2.4+3.6/4

average velocity=7.2/4

average velocity=1.8 m/s

average time=0.0+3.0+6.0+9.0/4

average time=18/4

average time=4.5 s

a= average velocity/average time

a=1.8/4.5

a=0.4 m/s²

A 8.0-cm long solenoid has 2000 turns of wire and carries a current of 5.0-A. Calculate the strength of the magnetic field at th
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

B = 0.157 T

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the solenoid, l = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Number of turns in the wire, N = 2000

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the strength of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid. It is given by the formula as follows :

N=\mu_o nI, N is number of turns per unit length of solenoid.

So,

B=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2000}{0.08}\times 5\\\\=0.157\ T

So, the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 0.157 T.
