A transverse wave is found to have a vertical distance of 4 cm from a trough to a crest, a frequency of 12 Hz, and a horizontal

distance of 5 cm from a crest to the nearest trough. Determine the amplitude, period, wavelength and speed of such a wave.

Answer:

Amplitude: 2cm

Period: 1/12 s

Wavelength: 10 cm

Speed: 120 cm/s

Explanation:

The amplitud is the vertical distance from the resting position to the crest or to the trough, and the vertical distance from a crest to a trough is two times the amplitude. Therefore the amplitud (A) is:

A= 4cm/2= 2cm

The period (T) is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12} s

The wavelength is defined as the horizontal distance from a crest to the nearest crest or from a trough to the nearest trough. The distance from a crest to the nearest tough was given. Therefore two times that distance is the distance from a crest to the nearest crest.

The wavelenght (λ) is:

λ=(2)(5)=10cm

The speed (v) in a wave is given by:

v = λf

v=(10)(12)=120 cm/s

What is the energy of light that must be absorbed by a hydrogen atom to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Using Bohr's equation; the energy absorbed by the hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows:

\delta E = (\frac{1}{n_2{^2}} -\frac{1}{n_1^{2}})13.6eV

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom.

Lower energy level (n₂) = 3

Higher energy level (n₁) = 5

1 eV = 1.602X10⁻¹⁹ C

\delta E = (\frac{1}{3{^2}} -\frac{1}{5^{2}})13.6X1.602X10^{-19}

ΔE = 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹J

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom  to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5 is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J
