Answer:

 λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range,

Explanation:

Bohr's atomic model for the hydrogen atom states that the energy is

           E = - 13.606 / n²

where 13.606 eV   is the ground state energy and n is an integer

an atom transition is the jump of an electron from an initial state to a final state of lesser emergy

            ΔE = 13.606 (1 / n_{f}^{2} - 1 / n_{i}^{2})

the so-called Lyman series occurs when the final state nf = 1, so the second line occurs when ni = 3, let's calculate the energy of the emitted photon

            DE = 13.606 (1/1 - 1/3²)

            DE = 12.094 eV

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            DE = 12.094 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 ev) = 10.35 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's find the wavelength is this energy, let's use Planck's equation to find the frequency

            E = h f

             f = E / h

            f = 19.35 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴

            f = 2.9186 10¹⁵ Hz

now we can look up the wavelength

           c = λ f

           λ = c / f

           λ = 3 10⁸ / 2.9186 10¹⁵

           λ = 1.0278  10⁻⁷ m

let's reduce to nm

            λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range, which occurs for wavelengths less than 400 nm.

Q 28.7: A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 T. What is the maximum Hall
Zinaida [17]

Answer:the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip= 0.00168 V.

Explanation:

The Hall Voltage is calculated using

Vh= B x v x  w

Where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, 5.6 T

v is the speed/  velocity of the strip, = 25 cm/s  to m/s becomes 25/100=0.25m/s

and w is the width of the strip=  1.2 mm to meters becomes 1.2 mm /1000= 0.0012m

 Solving

Vh= 5.6T x 0.25m/s x 0.0012m

=0.00168T.m²/s

=0.00168Wb/s

=0.00168V

Therefore, the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip=0.00168V

Which of the following solutions should be chosen to help restore an ecosystem naturally? A. reintroducing an animal to the ecos
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. reintroducing an animal to the ecosystem

Explanation:

As generally, all know that for restoring an ecosystem naturally, it requires reintroduction of an animal to the ecosystem. As though it helps in reimposing the ecosystem back, and also helps to improve our ecosystem in natural surroundings, natural terrain, and population density. Basically reintroducing an animal is also required for the balancing of the ecosystem. As everything requires a properly balanced nature.
