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

The current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A. What is the energy stored in the inductor?

lakkis [162]

Answer:

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Explanation:

Given that the current through a 0.2-H inductor is i(t) = 10te–5t A.

The energy E stored in the inductor can be expressed as

E = 1/2Ll^2

Substitutes the inductor L and the current I into the formula

E = 1/2 × 0.2 × ( 10te^-5t )^2

E = 0.1 × 100t^2e^-10t

E = 10t^2e^-10t Joules

Therefore, the energy stored in the inductor is 10t^2e^-10t Joules

A force of 150N at an angle of 60 degree to the horizontal to pull a box through a distance of 50m calculate the work done

Alexxandr [17]

Force=150N
Angle=60°
Displacement=50m

$\boxed{\sf W=Fscos\Theta}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto W=150(50)cos 60$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto W=7500\times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto W=3750J$

A metal rod has a moves with a constant velocity of 40 cm/s along two parallel metal rails through a magnetic field of 0.575 T.

love history [14]

Answer:

2.12/R mW

Explanation:

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R where B = magnetic field = 0.575 T, L = length of metal rod = separation of metal rails = 20 cm = 0.2 m, v = velocity of metal rod = 40 cm/s = 0.4 m/s and R = resistance of rod = ?

So, the induced emf on the conductor is

E = BLv

= 0.575 T × 0.2 m × 0.4 m/s

= 0.046 V

= 46 mV

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R

= B²L²v²/R

So, P = (0.575 T)² × (0.2 m)² × (0.4 m/s)²

= 0.002116/R W

= 2.12/R mW
