Answer: A.The total number of energy levels the electron can jump to.

Explanation:

Spectral lines are bright or dark lines over continuous spectrum which occur due to emission or absorption of energy.

When an electron jumps to or from one energy level to another energy level, spectral lines are produced. The range of spectral lines depends on the number of energy levels available to which the electron can jump. This depends the amount of energy gained/lost by the electron.

Thus, the correct answer is: A.The total number of energy levels the electron can jump to.

A hydrogen atom contains a single electron that moves in a circular orbit about a single proton. Assume the proton is stationary
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Radius between electron and proton= 6.804\times 10^{-10}m

Explanation:

The motion of the electron is carried out in the orbit due to the balancing of the electrostatic force between the proton and the electron and the centripetal force acting on the electron.

The electrostatic force is given as = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Where,

k = coulomb's law constant (9×10⁹ N-m²/C²)

q₁ and q₂  = charges = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = radius between the proton and the electron

Also,

Centripetal force on the moving electron is given as:

=\frac{m_eV^2}{r}

where,

m_e = mass of the electron (9.1 ×10⁻³¹ kg)

V = velocity of the moving electron (given: 6.1 ×10⁵ m/s)

Now equating both the formulas, we have

\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} = \frac{m_eV^2}{r}

⇒r = \frac{kq_1q_2}{m_eV^2}

substituting the values in the above equation we get,

r = \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (6.1\times 10^5)^2}

⇒r = 6.804\times 10^{-10}m

A disadvantage of some geophysical techniques based on magnetism is that their use in urban areas may be subject to distortion r
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Resistivity Method

Explanation:

A disadvantage of some geophysical techniques based on magnetism is that their use in urban areas may be subject to distortion resulting from power lines and metals in the immediate vicinity. One method that can be used in such areas relies on soil moisture and the ground's resistance to electricity and is known as Resistivity.

It is usually carried out by injecting a small electrical current through the earth and measured a subtle  sub-surface change in resistance over a given area.

Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. <u>This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons)</u>.

Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.

What is the polarity of each of the earths magnetic poles ? Explain you answer
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

When you put un-like poles together (South facing North) you can feel magnetic attraction. In the Northern Hemisphere, your compass needle points North, but if you think about it for a moment, you will discover that the magnetic pole in the Earth's Northern Hemisphere has to be a South polarity.
