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.

Answer:

1.It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.

2.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

3.In nuclear reactions, mass is never conserved—some mass is exchanged for energy and energy for mass. Nuclear reactions take place in an atom's nucleus. In a spontaneous nuclear reaction, such as radioactive decay, mass is "lost" and appears as energy in the form of particles or gamma rays.

4.In a nuclear reaction, mass decreases and energy increases. The sum of mass and energy is always conserved in a nuclear reaction.

5.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

Would a measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  ) ? Show your w
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  Measured force is  F_M  =  [46.5 \pm 0.8 \  N ]

   Calculated force is  F_c =  [48.4 \pm 0.6 \  N ]

Generally the measured force in interval form is

     46.5 - 0.8  < F_M  <  46.5 + 0.8

=>  45.7   < F_M  < 47.3

Generally the calculated  force in interval form is

     48.4 - 0.6  < F_c  <  48.4 + 0.6

=>  47.8   < F_M

Generally looking both interval we see that they do not intersect at any point Hence  

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )
