Answer:

A. 2.82 eV

B. 439nm

C. 59.5 angstroms

Explanation:

A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:

E_{n1,n2}=-13.4(\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})     (1)

n1: final state = 5

n2: initial state = 2

Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):

E_{5,2}=-13.6(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=2.82eV

B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:

E=h\frac{c}{\lambda}   (2)

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

λ: wavelength of the photon

You first convert the energy from eV to J:

2.82eV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{18}eV}=4.517*10^{-19}J

Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34} kg m^2/s)(3*10^8m/s)}{4.517*10^{-19}J}=4.39*10^{-7}m=439*10^{-9}m=439nm

C. The radius of the orbit is given by:

r_n=n^2a_o   (3)

where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms

You use the equation (3) with n=5:

r_5=5^2(2.380)=59.5

hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. A beam of light has a wavelength of 651 nm in vacuum. This light propag
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or n=\frac{c}{v}. For our case we want to use v=\frac{c}{n}, which for our values is equal to:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{299792458m/s}{1.16}=258441774.138m/s

Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the  <em>least</em> number of significant figures):

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp
NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz is the frequency

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m

and so, the diameter is

d=2y = 750 m

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2

And since the power is

P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W

The average intensity is

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2
