When atoms of an element are excited, they emit specific wavelengths of light. How is this similar to a fingerprint when Fraunho
Anika [276]

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.

The half-life of the reaction gets shorter as the initial concentration is increased. True or False
Art [367]

True

The half-life isn’t applicable to a first order reaction because it does not rely on the concentration of reactant present. However the 2nd order reaction is dependent on the concentration of the reactant present.

The relationship between the half life and the reactant is an inverse one.

The half life is usually reduced or shortened with an increase in the concentration and vice versa.

The peak value of an alternating current in a 1500-W device is 6.4 A. What is the rms voltage across it
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

6787.5 V

Explanation:

From the question,

P = IV..................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, I = rms current, V = rms voltage.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P/I................. Equation 2

Given: P = 1500 W, I = 6.4/√2 = 4.525 A

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1500(4.525)

V = 6787.5 V

Hence the rms voltage = 6787.5 V

You apply a potential difference of 5.70 v between the ends of a wire that is 2.90 m in length and 0.654 mm in radius. the resul
photoshop1234 [79]
1) First of all, let's find the resistance of the wire by using Ohm's law:
V=IR
where V is the potential difference applied on the wire, I the current and R the resistance. For the resistor in the problem we have:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{5.70 V}{17.6 A}=0.32 \Omega

2) Now that we have the value of the resistance, we can find the resistivity of the wire \rho by using the following relationship:
\rho =  \frac{RA}{L}
Where A is the cross-sectional area of the wire and L its length.
We already have its length L=2.90 m, while we need to calculate the area A starting from the radius:
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.654\cdot 10^{-3}m)^2=1.34 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2

And now we can find the resistivity:
\rho =  \frac{RA}{L}= \frac{(0.32 \Omega)(1.34 \cdot 10^{-6}m^2)}{2.90m}=  1.48 \cdot 10^{-7}\Omega \cdot m
