We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:
<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]
Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.
Answer:
Option d
The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Explanation:
The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).
That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).
The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.
The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.
The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.
(1)
Where
is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.
Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.
⇒
Finally, equation 1 can be used.
Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Answer:
15 protons and 18 electrons
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Element Number
- Neutral Atoms
- Ions
Explanation:
We are given the element P. P is 15 on the Periodic Table, meaning it has 15 protons and 15 electrons (all elements are in neutral form).
P³⁻ ion means the element now has a negative charge of 3. We know protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. 3- means we will have more electrons than protons.
Therefore, P³⁻ would have 15 protons and <em>18</em> electrons:
15 (+) + 18 (-) = 3 (-)
Answer: A characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the identity of the matter is a physical property.
Explanation:
A property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.
For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.
Whereas a property that changes chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical property.
For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.
A chemical change cannot be reverted back.
Therefore, we can conclude that a characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the identity of the matter is a physical property.
Answer:
R = 400 ohms.
Explanation: Voltage of the battery, V = 40 V. Current in the unknown resistor I = 100mA. Let R is the resistance of the resistor. It can be calculated using Ohm's law it gives the relationship between the voltage, resistance and current.. R = V/I. R = 40 V/10-¹A. R = 400 Ohm's. So, the value of the resistance of the resistor is 400 Ohm's
