The alpha line in the Balmer series is the transition from n=3 to n=2 and with the wavelength of λ=656 nm = 6.56*10^-7 m. To get the frequency we need the formula: v=λ*f where v is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency, or c=λ*f. c=3*10^8 m/s. To get the frequency: f=c/λ. Now we input the numbers: f=(3*10^8)/(6.56*10^-7)=4.57*10^14 Hz. So the frequency of the light from alpha line is f= 4.57*10^14 Hz.

A ball is dropped from a cliff. determine how far the ball fell after 7.5 seconds
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The ball fell 275.625 meters after 7.5 seconds

Explanation:

<u>Free fall </u>

If an object is left on free air (no friction), it describes an accelerated motion in the vertical direction, powered exclusively by the acceleration of gravity. The formulas needed to compute the different magnitudes involved are

V_f=gt

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where V_f is the final speed of the object in free fall, assumed positive downwards, t is the time elapsed since the release and y is the vertical distance traveled by the object

The ball was dropped from a cliff. We need to calculate the vertical distance the ball went down in t=7.5 seconds. We'll use the formula

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(7.5)^2}{2}

Y=275.625\ m

The circuit below contains an ideal battery, four identical light bulbs, and a switch. The switch is initially open.
Dafna1 [17]

The question is incomplete! circuit figure is attached below and answer and explanation is provided below.

Answer:

Bulb_A = Bulb_B = Bulb_D and Bulb_C = 0.

Explanation:

What happens when switch is open?

When the switch is open Bulb_C is open circuited meaning that there is no way for the current to flow through it. This path offers infinite resistance to the current therefore, current will try to take a least resistance path that is through Bulb_B.

So eventually, when the switch is open the circuit becomes a simple series circuit with path From battery to Bulb_A to Bulb_B to Bulb_D to battery with Bulb_C = 0.

What happens in a series circuit?

We know that in a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow therefore, same current will flow through all the series Bulbs and their brightness will be same. Bulb_A = Bulb_B = Bulb_D

Brightness in a series circuit:

We also know know that in a series circuit, resistance gets summed up and voltage across each Bulb gets shared which results in less power dissipation that's why Bulbs connected in series appear dimmer as compared to when they are connected in parallel.

Technician A says that shop air pressure usually ranges from 100–150 psi. Technician B says shop air pressure is around 300 psi.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

technician A.

Explanation:

Commonly,  air pressure rating of standard shop air compressor's is between the range of 100 psi and 150 psi. And over the years since, the plant pressure creep's up , the level of pressure increases from 100 psi to at max 150 psi but not more than that. Therefore, in the given question technician A is correct and technician B is incorrect.
