Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

The heat transfer process that is important in the transfer of energy from the Sun to Earth is Radiation.

Radiation is one of the mode of heat transfer which transfer energy/heat from one medium to another without any intervening medium. For example, heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation. The sun hits the earth directly without any medium between the sun itself and the earth.

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?

Oduvanchick [21]

First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
$a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1} - \frac{1}{n2} )$
We insert the values

$a = 2.18 \times {10}^{ - 18} \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } - \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} } )$
$= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}$
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
$wavelength = \frac{h \times c}{a}$
Finally we insert the values
$\frac{6.626 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18} } = 9.376 \times {10}^{ - 8}$
Which is the same as 93.8 nm

an empty boat floats in water with 10% of its volume submerged. and when it is loaded with 1200kg , the volume submerged will in

Lostsunrise [7]

Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V

and mass of boat be M

In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.

Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V

M leads to 0.1V boat submerging

boat submerging.

M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.

This is 60%, 0.6 V increase

By comparison

(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M

0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M

120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M

120kg = 0.6M

M = (120/0.6)kg

M = 200kg.

The mass of the boat is 200kg.
