Find the wavelength of the balmer series spectral line corresponding to n = 15.

Physics

Anna71 [15]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

    = 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ  = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

    = 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

    = 371.2 mm

A fan that is switched on for 1 minute uses 500 W usefully but also wastes 300 W through the emission of sound and heat. What's
koban [17]

Explanation:

Efficiency is defined as the ratio between the useful output over the total amount consumed. E = \frac{useful}{total}

The fan does 500W of useful work while wasting 300 W. The total power consumption is 800 W (500 + 300).

Determine the value of the current in the solenoid so that the magnetic field at the center of the loop is zero tesla. Justify y
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

I will explain the concept of magnetic field and how it can be calculated.

Explanation:

The formula for magnetic field at the center of a loop is given as

B = μ_{o}I / 2R

where B is the magnetic field

R is the radius of the loop

I is the current

and μ_{o} is the magnetic permeability of free space which is a constant 4π × 10^{-7} newtons/ampere²

If the magnetic field at the center of the loop is 0, then μ_{o}I = 0

I = 0 which means there will be no current flow in the loop.

Does gravity hold things together?
mariarad [96]
  <span>Gravity is an attractive force. All masses exert gravity, so matter pull toward each other. However, it is only significant when the masses are large, like that of Earth.  Exactly what causes gravity still remains a mystery. Since all the other three fundamental forces (strong, weak, and electromagnetic) are caused by particles called bosons, some scientists think that gravity is caused by particles called the graviton. However, such a particle has not yet been observed, and its existence has not been proven yet. 
Also, gravity does not hold EVERYTHING together, as another person has already mentioned. Static electricity holds your socks together after they come out of the dryer, not gravity. Also, gravity is too weak to hold together, say, the nucleus of atoms, or even atoms of molecules together.</span>

Object A has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 6 m/s to the east while Object 1 point B has a mass of 12 kg and velocity 0.6 m/s
Olin [163]

Answer:

Momentum of system = 37.2 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Mass A = 5 kg
  • Velocity A = 6 m/s
  • Mass B = 12 kg
  • Velocity B = 0.6 m/s

To find the momentum of the system;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

<u>For object A;</u>

Momentum A = 5 * 6

Momentum A = 30 Kgm/s

<u>For object B;</u>

Momentum B = 12 * 0.6

Momentum B = 7.2 Kgm/s

Next, we would determine the momentum of this system using the formula;

Momentum of system = Momentum A + Momentum B

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Momentum of system = 30 + 7.2

<em>Momentum of system = 37.2 Kgm/s.</em>

The radius of the thinner wire is 0.22 mm and the radius of the thick wire is 0.55 mm. There are 4.0 x 1028 mobile electrons per
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

0.2631 N/C

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the wire r = 0.22 mm = 0.22 × 10⁻³ m

The radius of the thick wire  r' = 0.55 mm = 0.55 × 10⁻³ m

The numbers of electrons passing through B, N = 6.0  × 10¹⁸ electrons

Electron mobility  μ =  6.0 x 10-4 (m/s)/(N/C)

= 0.0006

The number of electron flow per second is calculated as follows:

I = \frac{q}{t}

I = \frac{Ne}{t}

I = \frac{6*10^{18}(1.6*10^{-18})C}{1 \ s}

I = 0.96 \ A

The magnitude of the electric field is:

E = \frac{I}{ \mu n eA}

E = \frac{I}{ \mu n e(\pi r^2)}

E = \frac{0.96}{(0.0006 m/s N/C ) (4*10^{28})(1.6*10^{-19}C)(0.55*10^{-3}m)^2}

E = 0.2631 N/C
