Answer: 150 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 30L

Original pressure of gas P1 = 105 kPa

New pressure of gas P2 = ?

New volume of gas V2 = 21L

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

105 kPa x 30L = P2 x 21L

3150 kPa L = P2 x 21L

P2 = 3150 kPa L / 21 L

P2 = 150 kPa

Thus, 150 kPa of pressure is required to compress the gas

What is the wavenumber of the radiation emitted when a hydrogen

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the radiation = $1.634\times 10^{-18}J$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.634\times 10^{-18}J=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=12.16\times 10^{-8}m$

$\bar {\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{12.16\times 10^{-8}}=0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$

Thus wavenumber of the radiation emitted is $0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}$
