DetermiOne of the lines in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom emission spectrum is at 397 nm. It results from a transition f

rom an upper energy level to n=2. What is the principal quantum number of the upper level?ne the initial energy level, ninitial from which the electron in the hydrogen relaxed from to the final energy level, nfinal , 4, if the emitted light has a frequency equal to 74 x 1012 (1/sec). Is this wavelength in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Answer:

a)n =7 , b) n = 5

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom is described by the Bohr model

       E_{n} = - 13.606   1/n²

This equation energy is given in elector volts and n is an integer

A transition occurs when the electro sees from a superior to a lower state

       E₀ - E_{n} = -13.606 (1/n_{f}² - 1/n₀²)

Let's apply this expression

         n₀ = 2

Let's look for the energy of the different levels and subtract it

n₀          E_{n} (eV)

1            -13,606

2            -3.4015

3           - 1.5118

4           -0.850375

5           -0.54424

6           -0.3779

7           -0.2777

The wavelength of the transition is 397 nm = 397 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

       c = λ f

The Planck equation gives the energy of a transition

      E = h f

      E = h c /λ

Let's calculate

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/397 10⁻⁹

     E = 5.01 10⁻¹⁹ J

Let's reduce to eV

     E = 5.01 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

     E = 3.1313 eV

Let's examine the possible transitions from the initial level ni = 2

     ΔE = E_{2} - E_{n} = -3.1313

     En = 3.13 -3.4015

     E_{n} = 0.2702 eV

When examining the table we see that the level that this energy has is the level of n = 7

Part B      the transition is in the infrared

The frequency is 74 10¹² Hz

We use the Planck equation

       E = h f

       E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 74 10¹²

       E = 4.9062 10⁻²⁰ J

       E = 4.9062 10⁻²⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

       E = 0.3066 eV

We look for the level with the energy difference

     ΔE = E₄- E_{n} = 0.3066

     E_{n} = 0.3066 - 0.85037

     E_{n} = -0.54376 eV

When examining the table this energy has the level n = 5, therefore from this level the transition occurs

2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick  = 7.9kg

Height of building  = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

 

         P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

  Insert the given parameters and solve;

        P.E  = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22  = 1703.24J
