Answer:

the principal quantum number (n)

Explanation:

Quantum numbers are found in the mathematical description given to each orbital (Schrödinger's wave equation). Schrödinger is the 5th atomic model and it seeks to describe the characteristics of all the electrons in an atom. These digits are represented by letters and each of them indicates the position and energy of each of them.

The main quantum number always has integer and positive numbers and allows us to know the energy level of the orbital as well as its size. N determines the measure of the orbital, so the greater the probability of finding an electron near the nucleus of an atone, the energy of the orbital increases. All those groups of orbitals that share the same value of N are known as level or layer.

The values that the main quantum number (n) can adopt can be positive integers such as: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Number of conducting plates of a multiplate capacitor is 5. The no. Of capacitors is

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4 capacitors

Explanation:

Given

$n = 5$ --- conducting plates

Required

The number of capacitor (c)

This is calculated as:

$c = n - 1$

So, we have:

$c = 5 - 1$

$c = 4$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, $\lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, $v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s$

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

$v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}$

$\lambda_o$ is the observed wavelength

$\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A.c

Explanation:

The chromosphere is above the photosphere, the visible "surface" of the Sun. It lies below the solar corona, the Sun's upper atmosphere, which extends many thousands of kilometers above the chromosphere into space. The plasma (electrically charged gas) in the chromosphere has a very low density.

In basic terms it is the 2nd one out from the core.
