Answer : The energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, 3.03\times 10^{-19}J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the wavelength of hydrogen atom.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 10973731.6 m⁻¹

n_f = Higher energy level = 3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(10973731.6)\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )

\lambda=6.56\times 10^{-7}m

Now we have to calculate the energy.

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength = 6.56\times 10^{-7}m

Putting the values, in this formula, we get:

E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{6.56\times 10^{-7}m}

E=3.03\times 10^{-19}J

Therefore, the energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, 3.03\times 10^{-19}J

a vector has an x-component of 19.5m and a y-component of 28.4m. Find the magnitude and direction of the vector
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

magnitude=34.45 m

direction=55.52\°

Explanation:

Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:

P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)

And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)

We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.

For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance d between two points:

d=\sqrt{{(Y2-Y1)}^{2} +{(X2-X1)}^{2}} (1)

d=\sqrt{{(28.4 m - 0 m)}^{2} +{(19.5 m - 0m)}^{2}} (2)

d=\sqrt{1186.81 m^{2}} (3)

d=34.45 m (4) This is the magnitude of the vector

For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:

tan \theta=\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}  (5)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8 m - 0m}{19.5 m - 0m}  (6)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8}{19.5}  (7)

Finding \theta:

\theta= tan^{-1}(\frac{24.8}{19.5})  (8)

\theta= 55.52\°  (9) This is the direction of the vector

A spider spins a web with silk threads of density 1300 kg/m3 and diameter 3.0 μm . a typical tension in the radial threads of su
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave in a string is equal to:

v = √(T / (m/L))

where T is the tension and m/L is the mass per length.

To find the mass per length, we need to find the cross-sectional area of the thread.

A = πr² = π/4 d²

A = π (3.0×10⁻⁶ m)²

A = 2.83×10⁻¹¹ m²

So the mass per length is:

m/L = ρA

m/L = (1300 kg/m³) (2.83×10⁻¹¹ m²)

m/L = 3.68×10⁻⁸ kg/m

So the wave velocity is:

v = √(T / (m/L))

v = √(7.0×10⁻³ N / (3.68×10⁻⁸ kg/m))

v ≈ 440 m/s

The speed of sound in air at sea level is around 340 m/s.  So the spider will feel the vibration in the thread before it hears the sound.
