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

Jupiter is made of gas(like Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). What would happen to the strength of gravity if you
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The strength of gravity decreases if one moved away from Jupiter

b) The strength of gravity increases if one fell into Jupiter

Explanation:

The gravitational attraction is given by Newton law of gravitation as follows;

Force \ (strength) \ of \ gravity = \dfrac{G \times M \times m}{R^2}

Where;

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

M = The mass of Jupiter

m = The mass of the nearby body

R = The distance between the centers of Jupiter and the body

From the equation, we have that the gravitational strength varies inversely with the square of the separation distance between two bodies

Therefore, as one moves away, R increases, and the strength of gravity reduces

Similarly as the body falls into Jupiter, R, reduces the gravitational strength increases.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 5.00 s, it rotates 13.9 rad. Du
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) Angular acceleration is 1.112 rad/s².

(b) Average angular velocity is 2.78 rad/s .

Explanation:

The equation of motion in Rotational kinematics is:

θ = θ₀ + 0.5αt²

Here θ is angular displacement at time t, θ₀ is angular displacement at time t=0, t is time and α is constant angular acceleration.

(a) According to the problem, θ is 13.9 rad, θ₀ is zero as it is at rest and t is 5 s. Put these values in the above equation:

13.9 = 0 + 0.5α(5)²

α = 1.112 rad/s²

(b) The equation of average angular velocity is:

ω = Δθ/Δt

ω = \frac{13.9}{5}

ω = 2.78 rad/s

We know the frequency range of certain sounds are: 400-560 Hz, what are the ranges of wavelength in meters when the signal trans
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Range of wavelength will be 5.35\times 10^5m to 7.5\times 10^5m

Explanation:

We have given range of frequency is 400-560 Hz

Speed of the light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the range of the wavelength of signal transmitted

Ween know that velocity is given by v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency

So for 400 Hz frequency wavelength will be \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{400}=7.5\times 10^5m

And wavelength for frequency 560 Hz \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{560}=5.35\times 10^5m

So range of wavelength will be 5.35\times 10^5m to 7.5\times 10^5m

You are running at a speed of 10km/h and hit a patch of mud. Two seconds later you speed is 8km/h. What is your acceleration in
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

0.28 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem:

u = 10 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=2.78 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 8 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}= 2.22 m/s is the final velocity

t = 2 s is the time

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{2.78-2.22}{2}=0.28 m/s^2
