Answer:
1.5024
Explanation:
Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.
R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52
The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.
i = E / R
i = 2.88 / 12 =
i = 0.24 amps.
Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.
E = ?
R = 0.26
i = 0.24 amps
E = 0.26 * 0.24
E = 0. 0624
Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44
Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024
<span>This is because Helium
has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has
more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur.
The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more
grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible
range.</span>
We should see (and have now detected with LIGO) gravitational waves
