Light from a fluorescent lamp is observed through a cloud of cool nitrogen gas. Again, two students are having a discussion abou

t the kind of spectra that they would see.
Student 1: We would see absorption line spectra and the missing lines would correspond to the light from the fluorescent lamp.
Student 2: I disagree. We would see an emission line spectrum corresponding to nitrogen. This would happen because the nitrogen gas would absorb some energy from the fluorescent lamp and would reemit this energy which would result in an emission line spectrum.
Which student, if any, do you agree with and why?
Physics

Answer:

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

Explanation:

When the fluorescent lamp emits a light it has the shape of its emission spectrum, this light collides with the atoms of Nitrogen and excites it, so these wavelengths disappear, lacking in the spectrum seen by the observed, for which we would see an absorption spectrum

The nitrogen that was exited after a short time is given away in its emission lines, in general there are many lines, so the excitation energy is divided between the different emission lines, which must be weak

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

The amount of pressure exerted by a solid is based on
Veronika [31]

Answer:

pressure= force/area

A solid resting on a horizontal surfaceexerts a normal contactforce equals to its weight. The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. (b) the area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.

If the atomic number of an atom is 4 and the mass number is 9, then how many electrons does it have
miskamm [114]
The atomic number of an atom says how many protons it has. This number cant change, since the atomic number is what gives elements their identities (in the periodic table, at least).
The mass number, on the other hand, says how many protons AND neutrons the atom has (so, the sum of P+ and N0). So, electrons have nothing to do with this number.
Atoms are neutrally charged, which means there has to be an equal number of positive and negative particles. The negative particles of an atom are its electrons, and since our atom has 4 protons, it must also have 4 electrons.

Given that the speed of sound in air is 330m/s ,calculate the frequency of a note which setup a wavelength of 5cm in air.Is this
Pie

Explanation:

v = wavelength x frequency

330 = 5 . 10-² m x f

f = 6600 Hz

the frequency that human can hear is about 20 Hz - 20000 Hz

so human can hear the note.

What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio
pantera1 [17]
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
