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 block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 1.72 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 44.8°. (a) H
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_0)=1.72 m/s

\theta =44.8{\circ}

using v^2-u^2=2as

Where v=final velocity (Here v=0)

u=initial velocity(1.72 m/s)

a=acceleration   (gsin\theta )

s=distance traveled

0-(1.72)^2=2(-9.81\times sin(44.8))s

s=0.214 m

(b)time taken to travel 0.214 m

v=u+at

0=1.72-gsin(44.8)\times t

t=\frac{1.72}{9.8\times sin(44.8)}

t=0.249 s

(c)Speed of the block at bottom

v^2-u^2=2as

Here u=0 as it started coming downward

v^2=2\times gsin(44.8)\times 0.214

v=\sqrt{2.985}

v=1.72 m/s

Newton's first law of motion gives the concept of force moment ​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Hey there

Where trying to say that:

Newton's first law gives the concept of force and momentum?

That's false if that's is what you said.

Newton's first law tells us that objects in motion will remain in motion and objects at rest will remain at rest.

Newton's second law gives us the concept of force and momentum.
