An excited atom decays to its ground state and emits a photon of green light. If instead the atom decays to an intermediate stat
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the Planck equation

             E = h f

And the speed of light

            c = λ f

            f = c / λ

We replace

            E = h c / λ

The wavelength of the green light is of the order of 500 nm, let's calculate the energy

          E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ /λ

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ /λ

          λ = 500 nm = 500 10⁻⁹ m

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 500 10⁻⁹

          E = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ J

That is the energy of the transition for a transition is an intermediate state the energy must be less, this implies that the wavelength must increase. For the explicit case of a state with half of this energy

            E_{int} = E / 2

             E_{int} = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ / 2 = 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

Let's clear and calculate

           λ = h c / E

           λ = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

           λ = 1 10⁻⁶ m

Let's reduce to nm

          λ = 1000 nm

This wavelength is in the infrared region

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

(a) The rays are diverging near the lens. They change the direction when they passed through the converging lens

(b) If the light rays don't bend they will move away from the optical (principal axis) as the other waves are moving.

(c) If we decrease the distance between lens and light source, most of the rays diverge and no ray converges on the screen even after passing through the lens. Here is a screenshot.

A thin cylindrical shell and a solid cylinder have the same mass and radius. The two are released side by side and roll down, wi
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity be v

Total energy at the bottom

= rotational + linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² ( I moment of inertia of shell  = mr² )

= 1/2 mr²ω² + 1/2 mv² ( v = ω r )

= 1/2 mv² +1/2 mv²

= mv²

mv² = mgh ( conservation of energy )

v² = gh

v = √gh

= √9.8 x 1.8

= 4.2 m /s
