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".

You are making a round trip from City A to City B and back to City A again at constant speed. At what point in the trip is your
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Halfway between B and A on the return leg.

Explanation:

Your average SPEED for the entire trip will equal your constant speed as the time and distance increase at proportionate rates.

Your average VELOCITY will equal your constant speed while you travel from A to B because time and displacement are increasing at proportionate rates.

When you turn around at B to return, your Displacement is now decreasing while your travel time continues to increase, so your average velocity decreases.

Lets say the distance from A to B is 90 km and your constant speed is 30 km/hr.

your average speed is 30 km/hr because you took 6 hrs to travel 180 km

We want to find your position when your average velocity is 30/3 = 10 km/hr

it took 3 hrs to go 90 km from A to B. Let t be the time lapsed since turn around

your displacement is given by d = 90 - 30(t)

and your total time of travel is t + 3 hrs

 v = d/t

10 = (90 - 30t) / (t + 3)

10(t + 3) = (90 - 30t)

10t + 30 = 90 - 30t

40t = 60

t = 1.5 hrs

This will occur when you are halfway between B and A

Equipotential surfaces a) make an angle of 45 degrees with the electric field. b) are parallel to the electric field. c) are per
Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

As the distance between the sun and earth decreases, the speed of the planet
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increases. The force of gravity is distance dependent. Therefore, a smaller 'r' value will result in a larger force. Net force is proportional to the acceleration, so the planet will increase its speed.

1. A DC-10 jumbo jet maintains an airspeed of 550 mph in a southwesterly direction. The velocity of the jet stream is a constant
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The magnitude of actual velocity is <u>496.67 mph</u> and its direction is <u>51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of jumbo jet in southwesterly direction (v_j) = 550 mph

Velocity of jet stream from west to east direction (v_s)=80\ mph

First let us draw a vectorial representation of the above velocity vectors.

Consider the south direction as negative y axis and west direction as negative x axis.

From the diagram,

The velocity of the jet can be represented as:

\vec{v_j}=-550\cos(45)\vec{i}+(-550\sin(45)\vec{j} )\\\\\vec{v_j}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\ mph

Similarly, the velocity of the stream is, \vec{v_s}=80\vec{i}

Now, the vector sum of the above two vectors gives the actual velocity of the aircraft. So, the resultant velocity is given as:

\vec{v}=\vec{v_j}+\vec{v_s}\\\\\vec{v}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}+80\vec{i}\\\\\vec{v}=(-388.91+80)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\\\\\vec{v}=(-308.91)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}

Now, magnitude is given as the square root of sum of the squares of the 'i' and 'j' components. So,

|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(-308.91)^2+(-388.91)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=496.67\ mph

As the horizontal and vertical components of actual velocity negative, the resultant vector makes an angle \theta with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The direction is given as:

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-388.91}{-308.91})\\\\\theta=51.54\°(Third\ quadrant)

Therefore, the magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.
