Answer:
As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.
These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.
We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)
Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.
Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.
And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.
Answer:
a = 2.94 m/s²
Explanation:
In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:
Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force
ma = μR = μW
ma = μmg
a = μg
where,
a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?
μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)
<u>a = 2.94 m/s²</u>
Answer:
The total number of oscillations made by the wave during the time of travel is 1.4 Oscillations. Strictly speaking, the number of complete oscillations is 1.
Explanation:
The required quantity is the number of complete oscillations made by the traveling wave. The amplitude time and frequency are not needed to calculate the number of oscillations as it is the ratio of the distance traveled to the wavelength( minimum distance that must be traveled to complete one oscillation) of the wave. So the total number of oscillations is 1.4 while the number of complete oscillations is 1 (strictly speaking). The detailed solution to this question can be found in the attachment below. Thank you!
Answer:
There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.
Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.
