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.

What statement best describes the superposition principle (Physics)
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The principle of superposition which is also called superposition property,states that when two or more waves of the same type cross at some point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacements due to each individual wave.

What type of equilibrium is guaranteed by each condition of equilibrium
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: Conditions for equilibrium require that the sum of all external forces acting on the body is zero (first condition of equilibrium), and the sum of all external torques from external forces is zero (second condition of equilibrium). These two conditions must be simultaneously satisfied in equilibrium

Explanation: Hope this helped

Using the force and vector explain why the car is off the road after being hit by the bus
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Solution

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The direction of motion of bus and car can be denoted by velocity vectors ( v1 and v2 ) respectively.

- On a page draw the velocity vector v1 vertically up denoting the direction of motion of bus from origin

- Similarly,draw the velocity vector v1 horizontally left denoting the direction of motion of car from origin.

-  The force exerted by the car-bus interaction is always in the direction of motion.

- The force exerted by the bus is parallel to velocity vector as F1 and force exerted by the car is parallel to velocity vector as F2.

- The vector addition of of the two forces ( F1 and F2 ) will tell us the direction and magnitude of resultant force due to car-bus interaction.

- The resultant force will cause the car to be pushed off the road in the direction shown in the diagram.
