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

Is it possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas? Explain
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas.A process in which temperature of the gas remains constant is called Isothermal Process.For an ideal internal energy is a function of temperature therefore internal energy remains constant while all the heat added is converted to do the work done by the system.

Stels [109]

Complete Question

Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?

A) 33 m2  

B) 86 m2

C) 52 m2

D)  34 m2

Answer:

The value is  Area  =2.78 \   m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sides are  a =  2.4 m

                             b  =  2.3 m

                             c  =  1.5 m

Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

           s = \frac { a + b  + c  }{2 }

=>       s = \frac { 2.4  + 2.3  + 1.5   }{2 }

=>       s =3.1  \  m

Generally the using Heron's  formula we have that the  surface are a is  mathematically represented as

            Area  =  \sqrt{S (S -  a) (S - b )(S - c ) }

=>         Area  =  \sqrt{3.1  (3.1  -   2.4) (3.1  -  2.3 )(3.1  -  1.5 ) }

=>        Area  =2.78 \   m^2

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

30 Watts

Explanation:

Work = Force*Distance

Power = Force * Distance / Time

Power = 15 N * 20 meters / 10 sec

Power = 30 Watts
