Answer:

at n= 3     λ = 656 nm

at n= 2     λ = 121.58 nm

Explanation:

Given details

transition of hydrogen atom from n = 2 to n = 3 state

Difference in energy between n = 3 state and n = 2 state :

      = 2.18*10^{-18} \times [1/4 - 1/9] J = 3.03 \times 10^{-19} J

    so, energy of photon is given as =\frac{h\timesc}{\lambda}

E = 3.03*10^{-19} So solve for  wavelength

so, λ = \frac{6.626*10^{-34}*3*10^8}{3.03*10^{-19}}m

   =6.56*10^{-7} m

   = 656 nm

for second transition,

energy transmitted is given asΔE =\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

and it is calculated as = 2.18*10^{-18}*[1/1 -1/4] J

E = 1.635*10-18 J  solving for wavelength in ENERGY equation we get

so, \lambda' = 1.2158*10^{-7} m

      = 121.58 nm

A proton with a speed of 3.000×105 m/s has a circular orbit just outside a uniformly charged sphere of radius 7.00 cm. What is t
Rama09 [41]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. The kinetic energy in the object must be maintained and transformed into the potential electrostatic energy. Therefore mathematically

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

Here,

m = mass (At this case of the proton)

v = Velocity

k = Coulomb's constant

q_{1,2} = Charge of each object

r= Distance between them

Rearranging to find the second charge we have that

q_2 = \frac{\frac{1}{2} mv^2 r}{kq_1}

Replacing,

q_2 = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27})(3*10^5)^2(7*10^{-2})}{(9*10^9)(1.6*10^{-19})}

q_2 = 3.6531nC

Therefore the charge on the sphere is 3.6531nC

A 60kg block is at rest on a ramp inclined at 35 degrees.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)Gravitational Force is W=mg

Frictional force is f

Normal force is N

(b)Since the block is in Equilibrium therefore from diagram we can see that  

f=mg\sin \theta

f=60\times 9.8\times \sin 35

f=337.26 N

(c)Magnitude of Normal Force

N=mg\cos \theta =481.66 N

(d)friction is also given by

f=\mu mg\cos \theta

and f=mg\sin \theta

thus tan \theta =\mu

\mu =0.7

The difference in temperature is low near sea. Give reason.​
Free_Kalibri [48]
Because there is water everywhere by which the water gets hot and vaporised so that's why near the sea temperature is low.
