<u>Answer:</u> The wavelength of transition is 1281 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = 5

n_i= Lower energy level = 3

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{9\times 25}{0.2518\times 10^7m^{-1}\times 16}=12.81\times 10^{-7}m

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

1m=10^9nm

So, 12.81\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=1281nm

Hence, the wavelength of light is 1281 nm

Answer:

wavelength is 1301.8 nm

Explanation:

Given data

energy levels n = 3 to n = 5

to find out

What is the wavelength

solution

we know wavelength formula that is given below

1/wavelength = RH(1/n1² - 1/n2²)

here we know RH value is  10973731.6 m^(-1)

so

wavelength = 1 / RH(1/n1² - 1/n2²)

wavelength = 1 / 10973731.6 (1/3² - 1/5²)

wavelength = 1.3018 ×10^-6 m

wavelength is 1301.8 nm

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?
hammer [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) \frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q_{1} is the value of the first charge, q_{2} is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

q_{1} = 2q

q_{2} = \frac{q}{3}

So that,

F = q_{1}q_{2} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = 2q x \frac{q}{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2q^{2} }{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

F = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

The electric force between the given charges would change by \frac{2}{3}.

A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,
Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

\sum F_x = ma_x\\

Fm - Ff = ma_x\\ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\

Substitute the given parameters

Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a =  1.736m/s^2\\

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²
