Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV

Converting into Joules,

E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for \lambda,

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.

A circuit is built based on this circuit diagram. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The three resistors are connected to the same points of the circuit, so they are in parallel configuration. The equivalent resistance of 3 resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}
If we plug the values of the resistances into the formula, we find
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{3.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{6.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{9.0 \Omega}= \frac{6+3+2}{18.0 \Omega} = \frac{11}{18.0 \Omega}
From which we find the equivalent resistance:
R_{eq} =  \frac{18.0}{11} \Omega =1.6 \Omega

So, the correct answer is B.

If a magnet is attracted to a metal object what can you say about the pole of the magnet and the pole of a object ?
Sauron [17]
Space surrounding magnet is called the magnetic field. In this field we can encounter magnetic force. Magnet attraction occurs when poles are unlike and is caused by magnetic force. It means that poles should have opposite values.

The electrostatic force between the two ions is 2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particle is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the ion of sodium has a charge of

q_1 = +e = +1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

while the ion of chlorine has a charge of

q_2 = -e = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

And the distance between the two ions is

r=282 pm = 282\cdot 10^{-12} m

Substituting, we find the electrostatic force between the two ions:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})}{(282\cdot 10^{-12})^2}=-2.9\cdot 10^{-10} N

where the negative sign simply means that the force is attractive, since the two ions have opposite charge.

In the Hydrogen atom, the energy spacing between the is 4.07 x 101 J (Joules). When an is the frequency of the photons emitted?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The frequency of the photon is 3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E=4.07\times10^{-19}\ J

We need to calculate the energy

Using relation of energy

E_{4}-E_{2}=\Delta E

Where, \Delta E =  energy spacing

4h\nu-2h\nu=4.07\times10^{-19}

\nu=\dfrac{4.07\times10^{-19}}{2h}

Put the value of h into the formula

\nu=\dfrac{4.07\times10^{-19}}{2\times6.63\times10^{-34}}

\nu=3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of the photon is 3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz.
