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.

Very far away from the nucleus, the released electron has a velocity of 750,000 m/s. What was the wavelength of the absorbed photon?

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

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

             S = ut + 0.5at²

     Here u = 0, and a = g

              S = 0.5gt²

    Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

              S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

   Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)  We have equation of motion

            v² = u² + 2as

      Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

           v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

           v = 38.36 m/s

      Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

                   75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                    t = 3.91 s

   We need to find distance traveled last second

   That is

          S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

   Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 2.99 × 108 m/s, and the speed of light through a piece of glass is approximately
exis [7]

Option (b) is correct.The index of refraction for the glass is 1.52

Explanation:

velocity of light in vacuum= C= 2.99 x 10⁸m/s

Velocity of light in glass = V= 1.97 x 10⁸m/s

The refractive index is given by n=\frac{c}{v}

n= 2.99 x 10⁸/1.97 x 10⁸m/s

n= 1.52

Thus the refractive index of glass is 1.52
