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

Hey, guys I kinda need help with this question, 1. The number of atoms of each element are not equal on both sides of the equati
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.

I hope thats what u needed.

Answer:

Same reading.

Explanation:

Assume that after the string breaks the ball falls through the liquid with constant speed. If the mass of the bucket and the liquid is 1.20 kg, and the mass of the ball is 0.150 kg,

A.) Before the string break, the total weight = weight of the can + weight of the water.

According to Archimedes' Principle which state that: “A body immersed in a liquid loses weight by an amount equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.” Archimedes principle also states that: “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust, equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it

B.) After the string break.

The scale will have the same reading as before the string break.

In the Balmer series, how many spectral lines have the wavelength greater than 400 nm?
Irina18 [472]

<span>The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom. The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. this is all I know sorry</span>
