ANSWER:

The study and analysis of light according to its component wavelengths is called spectroscopy.

EXPLANATION:

Spectroscopy is the branch of science that is concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectrum produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation.It helps us to identify atoms and molecules in the object.Spectroscopy is used to find out Dopplers effect (the red shift and blue shift),which tells how fast the object is comming towards earth or moving away from the earth.

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

$E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})$

where

$E_0 = 13.6 eV$ is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

$E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV$

Converting into Joules,

$E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for $\lambda$ ,

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm$

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.

An ideal gas is confined within a closed cylinder at atmospheric pressure (1.013 * 105 Pa) by a piston. The piston moves until t

likoan [24]

Answer:

$911700\ \text{Pa}$

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Initial pressure = $1.013\times 10^5\ \text{Pa}$

$V_1$ = Initial volume

$V_2$ = Final volume = $\dfrac{V_1}{9}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=9$

Temperature is the same in the initial and final state

From the ideal gas law we have

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=P_1\times9\\\Rightarrow P_2=1.013\times 10^5\times 9\\\Rightarrow P_2=911700\ \text{Pa}$

The final pressure of the system is $911700\ \text{Pa}$ .
