Light is emitted by electrons when they drop from one energy level to a lower level. Which transition results in the emission of

light with the greatest energy?
Physics

natulia [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Level 4 to level 2

Explanation:

Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels (1, 2, 3, and so on) having different distances from the nucleus. When light is emitted by electrons from one energy level to a lower level, level 4 to level 2 has the greatest energy.

Hence, the correct option is "Level 4 to level 2".

The climate<span> was generally warmer and more humid than today, probably because of very active volcanism associated with unusually high rates of seafloor spreading. 
</span><span>The first placental mammals appeared at the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Cretaceous saw the rise and extinction of the toothed birds, Hesperornis and Ichthyornis. The earliest fossils of birds resembling loons, grebes, cormorants, pelicans, flamingos, ibises, rails, and sandpipers were from the Cretaceous.</span>

A car (mass = 1090 kg) is traveling at 30.4 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2880 kg) traveling
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The sport utility vehicle was traveling at V2= 11.5 m/s.

Explanation:

m1= 1090 kg

V1= 30.4 m/s

m2= 2880 kg

V2= ?

m1*V1 = m2*V2

V2= (m1*V1)/m2

V2= 11.5 m/s

A 2kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on a roof of the building that is 40 meters tall. What is the kinetic energy
MrRa [10]
The kinetic energy is \frac 1 2 m v^2 and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25 joules

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

p = \frac{h}{\lambda}

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

andp = \gamma\times mv

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.
