Answer: If we have equilibrium, the magnitude must be zero.

Explanation:

If the charges are in equilibrium, this means that the total charge is equal to zero.

And as the charges must be homogeneously distributed in the rod, we can conclude that the electric field within the rod must be zero, so the magnitude of the electric field must be zero

How does enormous energy get released from the sun

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

By nuclear fission

Explanation:

<u>The sun generates enormous energy through the process of nuclear fusion.</u>

<em>The core or the innermost part of the sun is characterized by high temperature and pressure. These two factors cause the separation of nuclei from electrons and the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium atom. </em>

During the fusion process, energy is released.

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?

Oduvanchick [21]

First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
$a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1} - \frac{1}{n2} )$
We insert the values

$a = 2.18 \times {10}^{ - 18} \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } - \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} } )$
$= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}$
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
$wavelength = \frac{h \times c}{a}$
Finally we insert the values
$\frac{6.626 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18} } = 9.376 \times {10}^{ - 8}$
Which is the same as 93.8 nm
