Calculate the wavelength, in nanometers, of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom when its electron falls from the n = 7 to the n

= 4 principal energy level. Recall that the energy levels of the H atom are given by En = –2.18 × 10–18 J(1/n2)

Answer:

The wavelength of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom for the given transition is 2166 nm.

Explanation:

The energy of nth energy levels of the H atom is given as:

E_n = -2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{n^2} J

Energy of the seventh energy level = E_7

E_7=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{7^2} J

E_7=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{7^2} J=-4.4490\times 10^{-20} J

Energy of the seventh energy level = E_4

E_4=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{4^2} J

E_4=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{16} J=-1.3625\times 10^{-19} J

Energy of the light emitted will be equal to the energy difference of the both levels.

E=E_7-E_4=-4.4490\times 10^{-20} J-(-1.3625\times 10^{-19} J)

E=9.176\times 10^{-20} J

Wavelength corresponding to energy E can be calculated by using Planck's equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\lambda =\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{9.176\times 10^{-20}  J}=2.166\times 10^{-6} m=2166 nm

The wavelength of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom for the given transition is 2166 nm.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Reducing molecules.

Explanation:

NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the important molecule used by the living organisms for the generation of ATP. NADH is used almost in every biochemical cycle like glycolysis, kreb cycle and elelctron transport chain.

The NADH molecule is used as the reducing molecule in the biosynthesis of the different reaction. The NADH molecule reduces its hydrogen ions and also carry electrons for the synthesis of molecules. The NADH molecule is also used in the shuttle system as well.

Thus, the answer is reducing molecules.
