A 60-kg swimmer suddenly dives horizontally from a 150-kg raft with a speed of 1.5 m/s. The raft is initially at rest. What is t

he speed of the raft immediately after the diver jumps if the water has negligible effect on the raft?

A photon is absorbed by an electron that is in the n = 3 state of a hydrogen atom, causing the hydrogen atom to become ionized.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$\lambda=3.99*10^{-7}m$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the absorbed photon must be equal to the binding energy of the electron plus the energy of the released electron:

$E_p=E_b+E_r\\\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{13.6eV}{n^2}+\frac{m_ev^2}{2}$

1 eV is equal to $1.6*10^{-19}J$ , so:

$13.6eV*\frac{1.6*10^{-19}J}{1eV}=2.18*10^{-18}J$

Solving for $\lambda$ and replacing the given values:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{\frac{2.18*10^{-18}J}{n^2}+\frac{m_ev^2}{2}}\\\lambda=\frac{6.63*10^{-134}J\cdot s(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{\frac{2.18*10^{-18}J}{3^2}+\frac{(9.11*10^{-31}kg)(7.5*10^5\frac{m}{s})^2}{2}}\\\lambda=3.99*10^{-7}m$

Irina18 [472]

Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with the current and potential difference (commonly known as voltage) in the lumped element model of electrical circuits. They were first described in 1845 by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff. This generalized the work of Georg Ohm and preceded the work of Maxwell.
