Answer:

Explanation:

Refraction is The bending of light from its straight line path when it travels from one medium to another. It is also a change in the direction of travel of light, sound, or other waves crossing a boundary.

what device is made of coils of wire with an electrical current passing through it in order to generate a magnetic field

Umnica [9.8K]

Transformer

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer is a device with two or more magnetically coupled windings. A time varying current in one coil (primary winding) generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the other coil (secondary winding). Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. There are two types of transformer:

1. Step up transformer - increases voltage

2. Step down transformer - decreases voltage

Describe the difference between contact forces and field forces.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Contact forces has to be touching for it to be an actual force. A field force does not have to be touching but it does have to be acting on particles at different positions in a space.

what is the energy (in j) of a photon required to excite an electron from n = 2 to n = 8 in a he⁺ ion? submit an answer to three

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Approximately $5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}$ .

Explanation:

Since the result needs to be accurate to three significant figures, keep at least four significant figures in the calculations.

Look up the Rydberg constant for hydrogen: $R_{\text{H}} \approx 1.0968\times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}$ .

Look up the speed of light in vacuum: $c \approx 2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Look up Planck's constant: $h \approx 6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}$ .

Apply the Rydberg formula to find the wavelength $\lambda$ (in vacuum) of the photon in question:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{\lambda} &= R_{\text{H}} \, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\end{aligned}$ .

The frequency of that photon would be:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda}\end{aligned}$ .

Combine this expression with the Rydberg formula to find the frequency of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}f &= \frac{c}{\lambda} \\ &= c\, \left(\frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \\ &= c\, \left(R_{\text{H}}\, \left(\frac{1}{{n_{1}}^{2}} - \frac{1}{{n_{2}}^{2}}\right)\right) \\ &\approx (2.9979 \times 10^{8}\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &\quad \times (1.0968 \times 10^{7}\; {\rm m^{-1}}) \times \left(\frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{8^{2}}\right)\\ &\approx 7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}} \end{aligned}$ .

Apply the Einstein-Planck equation to find the energy of this photon:

$\begin{aligned}E &= h\, f \\ &\approx (6.6261 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}) \times (7.7065 \times 10^{14}\; {\rm s^{-1}) \\ &\approx 5.11 \times 10^{-19}\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to three significant figures.)
