Answer:

\lambda=1282\ nm

Explanation:

E_n=-2.179\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules

For transitions:

Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

Also, \Delta E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So,  

\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=2.179\times 10^{-18}(|\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2}|)\ J

\lambda=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times (|\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2}|)}\ m

So,  

\lambda=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times (|\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2}|)}\ m

Given, n_i=5\ and\ n_f=3

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times (\frac{1}{5^2} - \dfrac{1}{3^2})}\ m

\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-18}\times \:2.179\left(|\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{9}\right)|}\ m

\lambda=\frac{19.878}{10^8\times \:2.179\left(|-\frac{16}{225}\right|)}\ m

\lambda= 1.2828\times10^{-6}

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

\lambda=1282\ nm

1. The illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the source?
Crank

<u>Answer</u>

1) A. 96 Candelas

2) A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

3) C. 5 meters


<u>Explanation</u>

Q1

The formula for calculation the luminous intensity is;

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

Lv = Ev × r²

= 6 × 4²

= 6 × 16

= 96 Candelabra

Q2

For converging lenses, an upright image is formed when the object is between the lens and the principal focus while a diverging lens always forms and upright image.

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

Q3

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

square radius = Luminous intensity/ illuminance

r² = 100/4

= 25

r = √25

= 5 m

An electron enters a region of uniform electric field with an initial velocity of 64 km/s in the same direction as the electric
8090 [49]

Answer:

1.) 11 km/s

2.) 9.03 × 10^-5 metres

Explanation:

Given that an electron enters a region of uniform electric field with an initial velocity of 64 km/s in the same direction as the electric field, which has magnitude E = 48 N/C.

Electron q = 1.6×10^-19 C

Electron mass = 9.11×10^-31 Kg

(a) What is the speed of the electron 1.3 ns after entering this region?

E = F/q

F = Eq

Ma = Eq

M × V/t = Eq

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

9.11×10^-31 × V/1.3×10^-9 = 48 × 1.6×10^-19

V = 7.68×10^-18 /7.0×10^-22

V = 10971.43 m/s

V = 11 Km/s approximately

(b) How far does the electron travel during the 1.3 ns interval?

The initial velocity U = 64 km/s

S = ut + 1/2at^2

S = 64000×1.3×10^-6 + 1/2 × 8.4×10^12 × ( 1.3×10^-9)^2

S =8.32×10^-5 + 7.13×10^-6

S = 9.03 × 10^-5 metres

Why do some scientists not use controlled experiments?
Leviafan [203]
Observational studies are a prime example. Observational data is more reflective of the real environments that scientists make their inferences to than controlled experiments. The disadvantage of observational studies is that the variability is far greater. <span />
