Answer:

The frecuency and wavelength of a photon capable to ionize the nitrogen atom are ν = 3.394×10¹⁵ s⁻¹  and λ = 88.31 nm.

Explanation:It is possible to know what are the frequency and wavelength of a photon capable to ionize the nitrogen atom using the equation of the energy of a photon described below.

E = hc/λ  (1)

Where h is the Planck constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

But first, it is neccesary to know the ionization energy of the nitrogen atom. The ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom, for the Nitrogen atom it will lose an electron of its outer orbit from the nucleus, farther snuff, so the electric force is weaker. Experimentally, it is known that it has a value of 14.04 eV. This value is easy to found in a periodic table.

So the nitrogen atom will need a photon with the energy of 14.04 eV to remove the electron from its outer orbit.

Replacing the Planck constant, the speed of light and the energy of the photon in the equation 1, the wavelength can be calculated:

λ = hc/E  (2)

Where h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s and c = 3.00×10⁸ m/s

But the Planck constant can be expressed in electron volts:

1 eV = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = 6.626x10⁻³⁴ J/1.602x10⁻¹⁹ J . eV .s

h= 4.136x10⁻¹⁵ eV.s

Now, it is convenient to express the speed of light in nanometers:

1nm = 1x10⁻⁹ m

c = 3.00x10⁸ m/ 1x10⁻⁹ m

c = 3x10¹⁷ nm/s

Substituting in equation 2:

λ =  (4.136x10⁻¹⁵ eV.s)(3x10¹⁷ nm/s)/14.04 eV

λ = 1240 eV. nm/ 14.04 eV

λ = 88.31 nm

The frenquency is calculated using the equation 2 in the following way:

E = hν  (3)

Where ν is the frecuency

ν = E/h

ν = 14.04 eV/4.136×10⁻¹⁵ eV.s

ν = 3.394×10¹⁵ s-1

So the frecuency of a photon, capable to ionize the nitrogen atom, will be 3.394×10¹⁵ s⁻¹ and its wavelength 88.31 nm.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

F_0 = 393 N

Explanation:

As we know that amplitude of forced oscillation is given as

A = \frac{F_0}{ m(\omega^2 - \omega_0^2)}

here we know that natural frequency of the oscillation is given as

\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here mass of the object is given as

m = \frac{W}{g}

\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{220}{\frac{30}{9.81}}}

\omega_0 = 8.48 rad/s

angular frequency of applied force is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(10.5) = 65.97 rad/s

now we have

0.03 = \frac{F_0}{3.06(65.97^2 - 8.48^2)}

F_0 = 393 N

How much heat will be needed to warm 187 grams of water from 10 0C to 90 0C?
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.

The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.

The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.

The information given:

m = 187 grams

c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)

ΔT = 80 degrees

Now just plug everything in to solve.

Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80

Q = 62592.64

So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.

Hope this helped!

true or false? short-wave heat radiation is given off by the earth when the earth absorbs long-wave radiation.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Hope this helps u, pls mark me brainlist

Explanation:

The sun emits shortwave radiation because it is extremely hot and has a lot of energy to give off. Once in the Earth's atmosphere, clouds and the surface absorb the solar energy. The ground heats up and re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays.
