Answer: A. when an electron in an atom is excited to a higher energy state

Explanation:

An absorption spectrum consists of dark lines on a visible background. The dark lines indicate the wavelength which is absorbed by the electron to jump from lower energy state to higher energy state.

Electron requires energy to jump to higher state. Specific wavelength is absorbed by the electron which appears as dark line. This wavelength is equivalent to energy difference between the two levels the electron is jumping.

Which feature of the sun appears in cycles of about 11 years?

goldfiish [28.3K]

The Sun's magnetic field goes through a cycle, called the solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field completely flips. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again.

Which of the following models shows how unpredictable electrons are?

Fantom [35]

The exact location of electrons in electron shells of atoms cannot be exactly ascertained. This is why VSPER atomic models represent the position of electrons (s, p, d, & f) using the probability of where they would most be expected to be found.

Explanation:

This is because merely observing electrons changes their behavior. Remember that to observe something one has to shine light on it so it bounces back to the eye. Due to the negligible mass of electrons, mere photons of light will change their direction of movement, spin or other behaviors/properties.

An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:

$v = \frac{I}{nqA}$

Where:

I: is the current = 4.50 A

n: is the number of electrons

q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²

We need to find the number of electrons:

$n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}$
