Answer:

The wavelength of sunlight that can cause this bond breakage is 242 nm

Explanation:

The minimum energy of the sunlight that'll break Oxygen-oxygen bond must match 495 KJ/mol

But 1 mole of any molecule contains 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Each molecule of Oxygen will require (495 × 10³)/(6.02 × 10²³) = 8.22 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

E = hf

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = frequency of the sunlight

λ = wavelength of the sunlight

v = speed of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

E = hv/λ

λ = hv/E

h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴)(3 × 10⁸)/(8.22 × 10⁻¹⁹)

λ = 2.42 × 10⁻⁷ m = 242 nm.

Which action best demonstrates the transformation of mechanical energy to heat energy and light energy?
Vinvika [58]

Well, first off, mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means. Striking a match stick (mechanical energy) creates fire, which has a ton of heat energy, and produces light too, so the answer, is A. I hope i could help!

What is the maximum number of lines per centimeter a diffraction grating can have and produce a complete first-order spectrum fo
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

14,300 lines per cm

Explanation:

Answer:

14,300 cm per line

Explanation:

λ400 nm to 400nm

We can find the maximum number of lines per centimeter, which is reciprocal of the least distance separating two adjacent slits, using the following equation.

mλ = dsin (θ)

In this equation,

m is the order of diffraction.

λ is the wavelength of the incident light.

d is the distance separating the centers of the two slits.

θ is the angle at which the mth order would diffract.

To find the least separation that allows the observation of one complete order of spectrum of the visible region, we use the maximum wavelength of the visible region is 700 nm.

d =  mλ / sin (θ)

As we want the distance d to be the smallest then sin (θ) must be the greatest, and the greatest value of the sin (θ) is 1. For that we also use the longest wavelength because using the smallest wavelength, the longest wavelength would not be diffracted.

d =  mλ / sin (θ)

d =  1 x 700nm / 1

  = 700 nm

So, the least separation that would allow for the possibility of observing complete first order of the visible region spectra is 700 nm, and knowing the least separation we can find the maximum number of lines per cm, which is the reciprocal of the number of lines per cm.

n = 1/d

   = 1 / 700 x 10^{-9}

  = 1, 430,000 lines per m  

  =  14,300 lines per cm

<u>The maximum number of lines per cm, that would allow for the observation of the complete first order visible spectra.</u>
