When the hydrogen atom makes the transition from the n=2 to the n=1 energy level, it emits a photon. This photon can be absorbed

by to a singly ionized helium atom (He+) in its second energy level (ninitial=2), causing it to move to a higher energy level. To what final energy level number nfinal can the photon promote the helium ion?
Note that He+ has two protons in its nucleus and a single electron.

Answer:

n_{fn}= 4

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use Bohr's atomic model

               E_{n} = - 13.606 / n²     [eV]

The transition from level n = 2 to level n = 1 is valid

               E_{21} = - 13.606 [¼ -1/1]

               E_{21} = 10.2045 eV

Bohr's model for atoms with only one electron is

               E_{n} = -13.606 Z² / n²

Where Z is the atomic number of the atom.

In this case the helium atom has an atomic number of Z = 2 from the level n₀ = 2 let's look up to what level it reaches

         ΔE = -13.606 [4 /  n_{fn}² - 4/4]

         4 / n_{fn}² = -ΔE / 13.606 + 1

         4 / n_{fn}² = -10.2045 / 13.606 +1 = -0.75 +1

         4 / n_{fn}² = 0.25

        n_{fn} = √ 4 / 0.25

        n_{fn}= 4

During the spin cycle of a washing machine, the clothes stick to the outer wall of the barrel as it spins at a rate as high as 1
Darya [45]

To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:

v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity <u>in radians</u>)

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Let's apply the first equation to question a:

v = ωr

v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26

Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.

Back to the equation:

v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26

v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26

v = (11304/60) * 0.26

v = 188.4 * 0.26

v = 48.984

v = 49 (m/s)

Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

a = \frac{49^{2}}{0.26}

a = 9234.6 (m/s^{2})

Wow! That's fast!

<u>We now have our answers for a and b:</u>

a. 49 (m/s)

b. 9.2 * 10^{3} (m/s^{2})

If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!
