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?
Physics

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.

The field inside a charged parallel-plate capacitor is __________.
Bess [88]
<span>Uniform. A parallel plate capacitor is a simple arrangement of electrodes and dielectric to form a capacitor. Here two parallel conductive plates are used as electrodes with a medium or dielectric in between them. Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field, which is uniform.</span>

Pierce conducts an experiment in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases. What has occurred? refraction reflectio
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

constructive interference.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m.

In this scenario, an experiment is conducted by Pierce in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases. Thus, this is an example of constructive interference i.e constructive interference has occurred.

An interference occurs when two pair of waves such as sound and light waves pass through each other i.e crossing each other's path while traveling through the same medium or space.
