Answer:

the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:

E=-E_0 \frac{1}{n^2}

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is a constant

n is the level number

We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as

\Delta E=-13.6 eV (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2})

We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is

\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=-13.6 eV(1-\frac{1}{4})=-13.6 eV(\frac{3}{4})=-10.2 eV

While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is

\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9})=-13.6 eV(\frac{5}{36})=-1.9 eV

And so on.

So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.

How does the game of Nukem resemble volleyball? What skills are the same? What skills are different?​
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

it resembles volleyball because its "played as a variation of volleyball

Explanation:

Catchball — a easier version of volleyball in which the players catch and throw the ball rather than hit it. Volleyball — a game for two teams of six players, in which a large ball is hit by hand over a high net, the aim being to score points by making the ball reach the ground on the opponent's side of the court.

Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00 µg are floating in empty space, far from an
Igoryamba

Answer:

This is a conceptual problem so I will try my best to explain the impossible scenario. First of all the two dust particles ara virtually exempt from any external forces and at rest with respect to each other. This could theoretically happen even if it's difficult for that to happen. The problem is that each of the particles have an electric charge which are equal in magnitude and sign. Thus each particle should feel the presence of the other via a force. The forces felt by the particles are equal and opposite facing away from each other so both charges have a net acceleration according to Newton's second law because of the presence of a force in each particle:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Having seen Newton's second law it should be clear that the particles are actually moving away from each other and will not remain at rest with respect to each other. This is in contradiction with the last statement in the problem.

Explanation:

A thermoset material is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing. Curing is induced by heat and cannot be undone because the polymers cross link during the process, creating permanent chemical bonds.

2-The amount of internal energy needed to raise the temperature of 0.25kg of water by 0.2°C is 209.3 J. How fast must a 0.25 kg
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

40.92 m/s

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Ek = 1 ÷2mv²...............................(1)

v = √(2Ek/m).......................... (2)

Here EK denotes kinetic energy

m denotes mass

v denotes velocity

Given that

m = 0.25kg and Ek = 209.3J

So,

v = √(2×209.3 ÷0.25)

= √1674.4

= 40.92 m/s
