Answer:

$\lambda=1090nm$

Explanation:

Rydberg formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of the spectral lines of many chemical elements. For the hydrogen, is defined as:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})$

Where $R_H$ is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and $n_1$ , $n_2$ are the lower energy state and the higher energy state, respectively.

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.10*10^{7}m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{6^2})\\\frac{1}{\lambda}=9.17*10^{5}m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1.09*10^{6}m^{-1}}\\\lambda=1.09*10^{-6}m*\frac{10^{9}nm}{1m}\\\lambda=1090nm$

Please help me with questions 1, 2 and 3. i need a step by step explanation

1) d

2) 5 m/s

3) 100

Explanation:

The equation of position x for a constant acceleration a and an initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀, time t is:

(i) $x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0$

The equation for velocity v and a constant acceleration a is:

(ii) $v=at+v_0$

1) Solve equation (ii) for acceleration a and plug the result in equation (i)

(iii) $a = \frac{v -v_0}{t}$

(iv) $x = \frac{v-v_0}{2t}t^2+v_0t + x_0$

Simplify equation (iv) and use the given values v = 0, x₀ = 0:

(v) $x=-\frac{v_0}{2}t + v_0t= \frac{v_0}{2}t$

2) Given v₀= 3m/s, a=0.2m/s², t=10 s. Using equation (ii) to get the final velocity v: $v=at+v_0=0.2\frac{m}{s^2} * 10s+3\frac{m}{s}=2\frac{m}{s}+3\frac{m}{s}=5\frac{m}{s}$
