The energy levels of a particular quantum object are -11.7 eV, -4.2 eV, and -3.3 eV. If a collection of these objects is bombard

ed by an electron beam so that there are some objects in each excited state, what are the energies of the photons that will be emitted?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.

By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:

|\Delta E_{ij}| = |E_i-E_j|

Our states are given by

E_1 = -11.7eV

E_2 = -4.2eV

E_3 = -3.3eV

In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,

|\Delta E_{12}| = |E_1-E_2|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = |-11.7-(-4.2)|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = 7.5eV\\

|\Delta E_{13}| = |E_1-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = |-11.7-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = 8.4eV

|\Delta E_{23}| = |E_2-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = |-4.2-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = 0.9eV

Therefore the states of energy would be

Lowest : 0.9eV

Middle :7.5eV

Highest: 8.4eV

If the acceleration of a motorboat is 4.0 m/s2, and the motorboat starts from rest, what is its velocity after 6.0 s?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The velocity of the motorboat after 6s is 24 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the motorboat, a = 4.0 m/s²

initial velocity of the motorboat, u = 0

time of motion of the motorboat = 6s

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the velocity of the motorboat after 6 ;

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4 x 6)

v = 24 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the motorboat after 6s is 24 m/s.

A pendulum takes 6.0 seconds to swing through 5 complete cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?
photoshop1234 [79]
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds
