Answer:

Orbit around the nucleus at specific energy levels

Explanation:

In the quantum model of the atom (Bohr's model), electrons orbit the nucleus at specific orbits corresponding to specific energy level - this means that an electron cannot be found in the space between two orbits.

Since each orbit correspond to a a precise energy level, this means that the spectrum of emission and absorption of an atom is discrete. In fact:

- When an electron jumps from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it absorbs a photon whose energy is equal to the difference in energy between the two levels - so photons of only specific frequencies are absorbed

- When an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is equal to the difference in energy between the two levels - so photons of only specific frequencies are emitted

What is the conclusion of coin and feather experiment?

valina [46]

Answer:

So the conclusion is that in presence of air net force acting downward reduces for feather and hence falls slower than coin. But in absence of air resistance, net downward force is just equal to force due to gravity which is same for both coin and feather and hence they fall down at the same rate.

A ball is tossed with enough speed straight up so that it is in the air several seconds. (a) What is the velocity of the ball wh

irina1246 [14]

(a) Zero

When the ball reaches its highest point, the direction of motion of the ball reverses (from upward to downward). This means that the velocity is changing sign: this also means that at that moment, the velocity must be zero.

This can be also understood in terms of conservation of energy: when the ball is tossed up, initially it has kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the ball's mass and v is the initial speed. As it goes up, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and when the ball reaches the highest point, all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy:

$U=mgh$

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height of the ball at highest point. At that point, therefore, the potential energy is maximum, while the kinetic energy is zero, and so the velocity is also zero.

(b) 9.8 m/s upward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s before reaching its highest point by using the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, which is negative since it points downward

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u is the initial velocity

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for u, we find

$u=v-at = 0 -(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= +9.8 m/s$

and the positive sign means it points upward.

(c) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (at the highest point)

u = 9.8 m/s is the initial velocity

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = 0 - (+9.8 m/s)=-9.8 m/s$

(d) 9.8 m/s downward

We can find the velocity of the ball 1 s after reaching its highest point by using again the equation:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where this time we have

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity, still negative

v is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

t = 1 s is the time interval

Solving for v, we find

$v = u+at = 0 +(-9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)= -9.8 m/s$

and the negative sign means it points downward.

(e) -9.8 m/s

The change in velocity during the 1-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where here we have

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = 0 is the initial velocity (at the highest point)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - 0=-9.8 m/s$

(f) -19.6 m/s

The change in velocity during the overall 2-s interval is given by

$\Delta v = v -u$

where in this case we have:

v = -9.8 m/s is the final velocity (1 s after reaching the highest point)

u = +9.8 m/s is the initial velocity (1 s before reaching the highest point)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta v = -9.8 m/s - (+9.8 m/s)=-19.6 m/s$

(g) -9.8 m/s^2

There is always one force acting on the ball during the motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the ball

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (a), so

$mg = ma$

which means that the acceleration is

$a= g = -9.8 m/s^2$

and the negative sign means it points downward.

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave ___ the frequency of the wave ________.

adoni [48]

Answer:

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave _decrease__ the frequency of the wave _increase_______.

Explanation:

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency is:

V= fλ

where v= velocity

f= frequency

λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ

also f ∝ 1/λ

For electromagnetic radiation, the speed is equal to the speed of light, c, and the equation becomes:

C= fλ

where c= Speed of light

f= frequency

λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ

also f ∝ 1/λ

What is the expected wavelength (in cm) of 10.5 ghz microwaves in free space?

Sindrei [870]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (300 thousand km per second) / (10.5 billion per second)

Wavelength = (300 / 10.5) (thousand km per second) / (billion per second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (million meters / second) / (thousand million / second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (meters / second) / (thousand / second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (meters / thousand)

<em>Wavelength = (28.57) (millimeters) </em>
