Answer:

This represents radiation in ultra-violet region .

Explanation:

Energy of the orbit where n = 3 is given as follows

E_3 =- \frac{13.6 }{3^2}

E_3 =- \frac{13.6 }{9} = -1.511 eV

Energy of the orbit where n = 1 is given as follows

E_1 =- \frac{13.6 }{1^2}

E_1 =- \frac{13.6 }{1} = 13.6 eV

Difference of [tex]E_3 and [tex]E_1 = - 1.511+ 13.6

= 12.089 eV.

The wavelength of light having this energy in nm is given by the expression as follows

Wavelength in nm = 1244 / energy in eV

= 1244 / 12.089

= 102.90 nm

This represents radiation in ultra-violet region .

If a moving car speeds up until it is going twice as fast, how much kinetic energy doe s it have compared with its initial kinet
dezoksy [38]
The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Let's call v_i the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2
where m is the mass of the car. 

The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so 
v_f = 2 v_i
and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv_f^2 =  \frac{1}{2}m (2 v_i)^2 = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2)=4 K_i
so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.

Describe how the ocean influences climate by storing heat and water? Give one example to justify your answer.
just olya [345]
The sun light that received by the water in the ocean will increase the average temperature of the water and make it warmer.
With the help of wind and current, the warm water will spread out to another region, and increasing the average temperature in that region and affecting its overall climate.
Example The temperature rise in Valdivia<span>, Chile and in Beijing, China after receiving warm water from arctic.</span>
