An electron in an unknown energy level of a hydrogen atom transitions to the n=2 level and emits a photon with wavelength 410 nm

in the process. What was the initial energy level?

Answer:

The initial energy level = 6

Explanation:

Photon wavelength is proportional to energy. The wavelength of emitted photons is related to the energy levels of the atom as given by the Rydberg formula:

ₕ₁₂

(1/λ) = Rₕ [(1/n₂²) − (1/n₁²)]

where n₂ = final energy level = 2

n₁ = initial energy level = ?

Rₕ = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

λ = wavelength = 410 nm = 410 × 10⁻⁹ m

1/(410 × 10⁻⁹) = (1.097 × 10⁷) [(1/2²) − (1/n₁²)]

0.223 = [(1/4) − (1/n₁²)]

(1/n₁²) = 0.02778

n₁² = 1/0.02778 = 36

n₁ = 6.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

5 m/s

Explanation:

Here we can see there is no external force acted on a two masses when we consider the motion. If there is no external forces then momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

0.5 × 10  = 1 × V

V = 5 m/s

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside
Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

Which of the following is a true statement about mass and weight? Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, while weig
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Mass will not change based on location, while weight will change based on gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The formula for weight is mass*gravitational pull, hence weight changes based on gravitational pull

Which one of the following statements is true? Explain.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

All the given option is false.

Explanation:

A)

This is not true for all the materials like composite because the Poisson ratio for composite material can be negative that is why positive tensile stress may produce positive lateral strain.

B)

This is not true for all the material because the Poisson ratio for some material can be positive  that is why positive tensile stress may produce negative lateral strain.

C)

The explanation is same as option A.

D)

This is not true for all the materials ,It is valid only up to elastic limit .After the elastic limit the strain and stress does not follow linear path.

E)

This is not true for all the materials because some materials like composite is having negative value of Young's modulus.

Therefore all the given option is false.
