In what sense is the wave motion of a guitar string analogous to the motion of an electron in an atom?

Chemistry

STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

A guitar string vibrates when we strikes it. It starts vibrating in several modes simultaneously. It stretches between the saddle and the nut. This distance represents one-half wavelength.

Now if we consider that the string forms a circle, then we have an interpretation of an electron which vibrates in the orbit surrounding the nucleus. We are aware that electrons have wavelength. If the circumference of the orbit happens to be the integer multiple of wavelength , then the orbit is "allowed" since "the electron will retraces its own path."

This explains the line spectrum and not a continuous spectrum.

A line spectrum refers an electron that jumps between the specific energy levels, thus producing only specific colors.

You have 500 mL of 5 M HCl already made. You need to dilute the solution to 1 M HCl. How much water will you need to add?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

You need to add 400mL of water

Explanation:

500mL = 5 M HCI     That means that if you divide both sides by 5

100mL = 1 M HCI         If you need ot get rid of 4 M HCI then you add 400 mL of water because that is what it is equal to

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

c. crystallization

Explanation:

The opposing process that occur in a solution in contact with undissolved solute are dissolution and crystallization.

In the dissolution process the solid substance coverts into liquid state and mixes with solution. Whereas in Crystallization the the chemical is converted from the liquid solution to solid crystal state.

How does the flow of energy during freezing compare with the flow of energy during melting
lianna [129]

Answer:

At the melting point, some molecules overcome the forces of attraction. Energy gained after the the solid melts increases the average kinetic energy or the temperature. When liquid is freezing the energy flows out the the liquid. As the kinetic energy decreases, they move more slowly.
