An earthquake on the ocean floor in the Gulf of Alaska induces a tsunami (sometimes called a "tidal wave") that reaches Hilo, Ha

waii, 4780 km away, after a time of 9.99 h. Tsunami’s have enormous wavelengths (100- 200 km), and for such waves the propagation speed is v ≈ qgd , where d is the average depth of the water, d is in meters, v is in m/s, and g = 9.8 m/s^2 . From the information given, find the average ocean depth between Alaska and Hawaii.

Answer:

23785m

Explanation:

V= 4780/9.9= 482.8km/h

d= v²/g = 482.8²/9.8= 23785m

Part A: Determine the wavelength of photons that can be emitted
torisob [31]

Answer:

A  λ = 97.23 nm

, B)   λ = 486.2 nm

, C)  λ = 53326 nm

Explanation:

With that problem let's use the Bohr model equation for the hydrogen atom

          E_{n} = -k e² /2a₀  1/n²

For a transition between two states we have

          E_{nf} -  E_{no} = -k e² /2a₀ (1/  n_{f}² - 1 / n₀²)

Now this energy is given by the Planck equation

         E = h f

And the speed of light is

         c = λ f

Let's replace

      h c / λ = - k e² /2a₀ (1 / n_{f}² - 1 / no₀²)

      1 /  λ = - k e² /2a₀ hc (1 / n_{f}² -1 / n₀²)

Where the constants are the Rydberg constant R_{H} = 1.097 10⁷ m⁻¹

        1 /  λ = R_{H} (1 / n₀² - 1 / nf²)

Now we can substitute the given values

Part A

 Initial state n₀ = 1 to the final state n_{f} = 4

        1 /  λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/1 - 1/4²)

         1 /  λ = 1.0284 10⁷ m⁻¹

          λ = 9.723 10⁻⁸ m

We reduce to nm

         λ = 9.723 10⁻⁸ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

         λ = 97.23 nm

Part B

Initial state n₀ = 2 final staten_{f} = 4

       1 /  λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/2² - 1/4²)

       1 /  λ = 0.2056 10⁻⁷ m

        λ = 486.2 nm

Part C

Initial state n₀ = 3

      1 /  λ = 1,097 10⁷ (1/3² - 1/4²)

       1 /  λ = 5.3326 10⁵ m⁻¹

        λ = 5.3326 10-5 m

        λ = 53326 nm

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

5.38035 m

Explanation:

n_w = Refactive index of water = 1.43

h = Depth = 5.5 m

Critical angle is given by

\theta_c=sin^{-1}\dfrac{1}{n_w}\\\Rightarrow \theta_c=sin^{-1}\dfrac{1}{1.43}\\\Rightarrow \theta_c=44.37^{\circ}

d = horizontal distance from the post where she no longer see the bottom of wooden post

So,

tan\theta_c=\dfrac{d}{h}\\\Rightarrow d=tan\theta_c\times h\\\Rightarrow d=tan44.37\times 5.5\\\Rightarrow d=5.38035\ m

The distance d is 5.38035 m
