Part A: Determine the wavelength of photons that can be emitted
torisob [31]

Answer:

A  λ = 97.23 nm

, B)   λ = 486.2 nm

, C)  λ = 53326 nm

Explanation:

With that problem let's use the Bohr model equation for the hydrogen atom

          E_{n} = -k e² /2a₀  1/n²

For a transition between two states we have

          E_{nf} -  E_{no} = -k e² /2a₀ (1/  n_{f}² - 1 / n₀²)

Now this energy is given by the Planck equation

         E = h f

And the speed of light is

         c = λ f

Let's replace

      h c / λ = - k e² /2a₀ (1 / n_{f}² - 1 / no₀²)

      1 /  λ = - k e² /2a₀ hc (1 / n_{f}² -1 / n₀²)

Where the constants are the Rydberg constant R_{H} = 1.097 10⁷ m⁻¹

        1 /  λ = R_{H} (1 / n₀² - 1 / nf²)

Now we can substitute the given values

Part A

 Initial state n₀ = 1 to the final state n_{f} = 4

        1 /  λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/1 - 1/4²)

         1 /  λ = 1.0284 10⁷ m⁻¹

          λ = 9.723 10⁻⁸ m

We reduce to nm

         λ = 9.723 10⁻⁸ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

         λ = 97.23 nm

Part B

Initial state n₀ = 2 final staten_{f} = 4

       1 /  λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/2² - 1/4²)

       1 /  λ = 0.2056 10⁻⁷ m

        λ = 486.2 nm

Part C

Initial state n₀ = 3

      1 /  λ = 1,097 10⁷ (1/3² - 1/4²)

       1 /  λ = 5.3326 10⁵ m⁻¹

        λ = 5.3326 10-5 m

        λ = 53326 nm

Which action will cause the magnetic force to push two magnets closer together?
Sergeu [11.5K]

The action that will cause the magnetic force to push two magnets closer together: is that of attraction which happens when opposite poles of the magnets approach.

<h3>Meaning of magnetic force</h3>

magnetic force can be defined as the effect that is felt by magnetic objects that causes attraction and repulsion.

A magnetic force attracts two magnets when they are in opposite poles and repels them if they are in the same pole.

In conclusion, The action that will cause the magnetic force to push two magnets closer together: is that of attraction which happens when opposite poles of the magnets approach.

A standing wave on a string that is fixed at both ends has frequency 80.0 Hz. The distance between adjacent antinodes of the sta
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

v = 19.2 m/s

Explanation:

In order to find the speed of the string you use the following formula:

f=\frac{v}{2L}          (1)

f: frequency of the string = 80.0Hz

v: speed of the wave = ?

L: length of the string = 12.0cm = 0.12m

The length of the string coincides with the wavelength of the wave for the fundamental mode.

Then, you solve for v in the equation (1), and replace the values of the other parameters:

v=2Lf=2(0.12m)(80.0Hz)=19.2\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the wave is 19.2 m/s

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply. kg • m kg • N • s N • m
Vlada [557]

We know that impulse is simply the product of Force and time:

Impulse = Force * time

 

Since Force has a unit of Newton or kg m/s^2 and time is in seconds, therefore impulse can have units as:

N s

or
