Answer and Explanation:

KUIPER BELT : The Kuiper belt is on the name of the scientist kuiper .It is the largest structure of the solar system its inner edge is about 30 AU from the Sun. The thickness of the kuiper belt is about 10 AU. It contains comets and other icy bodies

OORT CLOUD : The name of this cloud is one the name of a scientist Jhon oort. It is a theoretical cloud and mainly consist icy bodies it far away from the Sun. Its structure is spherical in nature and mostly contain ice water amonia methane

A list of different ions are below. Which combinations of ions will result in an ionic bond?

kenny6666 [7]

Ionic bond is a type of bond formed between a non metal and a metal, it involves transfer of electrons that results to formation of ions, normally a cation and an anion. In this case the combinations that will result to ionic bonds include;
NaF, LiCl, NaO2, BeF2, and BeS

If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is $1.30 \times 10^8 nm.$

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

$c=f$ λ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

Rearranging, $\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Plug in the values,

$\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.$

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest

mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$

Where

$\lambda$ represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

$n_f$ represents Final energy states

and $n_i$ represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

$1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$

now we will put the values into the above formula

$= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )$

$= 1218888.889 m^{-1}$

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of $\lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m$

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

BRAINLIEST AND MAY DOUBLE POINTS!!!

raketka [301]

Given that:

Energy of bulb (Work ) = 30 J,

Time (t) = 3 sec

The power consumption = ?

We know that, Power can be defined as rate of doing work

Power (P) = Work(Energy supplied) ÷ time

= 30 ÷ 3

= 10 Watts

<em> The power consumption is 10 W.</em>
