What wavelength ? should the astrophysicist look for to detect a transition of an electron from the n=7 to the n=3 level?

1 answer:

7 0

Using the Debroglies equation,energy can be found,as 1.9773*10*-9
then, energy* wave length= hc
c is the speed of light and is the planks constant.
wave length =1.006*10*-16 m

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer Group of answer choices it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely

Explanation:

To properly operate the laboratory thermometer it needs to be shaken but make sure you have enough room to shake it safely. This done because there is a small bend in the mercury channel of a clinical thermometer that uses mercury. You must shake the thermometer to get the mercury from a previous reading from the thermometer back into the bulb for taking new reading. The bend prevents flow back into the tube so that one can comfortably take reading.

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing

babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5 (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) = (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 = (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

$x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}$

$x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_1 = 3$

$x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}$

$x_2 = -1\; 1/3$

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h

What does the galaxy made of ?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Galaxies are sprawling systems of dust, gas, dark matter, and anywhere from a million to a trillion stars that are held together by gravity. Nearly all large galaxies are thought to also contain supermassive black holes at their centers.

If an atomic nucleus were the size of a dime how far away might one of its electrons be?

mihalych1998 [28]

The radius of a nucleus of hydrogen is approximately $r_{n1}=1\cdot 10^{-15}m$ , while we can use the Borh radius as the distance of an electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom: $r_{e1}=5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m$

The radius of a dime is approximately $r_{n2} = 9\cdot 10^{-3}m$ : if we assume that the radius of the nucleus is exactly this value, then we can find how far is the electron by using the proportion
$r_{n1}:r_{e1}=r_{n2}:r_{e2}$
from which we find
$r_{e2}= \frac{r_{e1} r_{n2}}{r_{n1}}= \frac{(5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m)(9\cdot 10^{-3}m)}{1 \cdot 10^{-15}m}=477 m$

So, if the nucleus had the size of a dime, we would find the electron approximately 500 meters away.
