Answer:

The light of a light bulb contains all the wavelengths of visible band which on passing through diffraction grating appear in the form of continuous spectra.

Discrete lines are observed when the electron makes a transition from higher orbit to lower orbit releasing a photon having energy which is equivalent to the energy difference between the two orbits.

Five basket ball teams are playing in a tournament. The teams will play with each other only one time. How many games will be pl
77julia77 [94]

<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .

What must be the mass of a rock if a boy applies a 64N force and causes it to accelerate at 4.51m/s2
Butoxors [25]

first of all the formula of force is F=ma,so we are searching for m,so we can divide a on both sides F/a=m, after this substitute the values given above 64N/4.51=14.2°Kg
