What is the origin of the atomic emission spectrum of an element
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The electronic transition of an electron back to a lower energy level generates an emission spectrum.

Explanation:

The atomic emission spectrum¹ of an element has its origin when an electronic transition² occurs. An electron in an atom or ion³will absorb energy coming from a source and pass to a higher energy level, the electron, upon returning to its base state will emit a photon⁴ or a series of photons.

Hence, that leads to the formation of an emission spectrum.

Remember that an electron has energy levels in an atom or ion, at which each energy level has a specific value.

The energy values will differ from one element to another. So, it can be concluded that each element has a unique pattern of emission lines.

Key terms:        

¹Spectrum: Decomposition of light in its characteristic colors.

²Electronic transition: When an electron passes from one energy level to another, either for the emission or absorption of a photon.

³Ion: An atom electrically charged due to the gain or loss of electrons.

⁴Photon: Elementary particle that constitutes light.

Procedure on making electricity using solar
OLga [1]
<span>Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. This electricity can then be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business.</span>

An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. During the jump i
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height attained by body = 50 cm

= .5 m

Initial velocity = u

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

u² = 2 x 9.8 x .5

u = 3.13 m /s

During the initial period , the muscle stretches by around 10 cm during which force by ground reacts on the body and gives acceleration to achieve velocity of 3.13 m/s from zero .

v² = u² + 2as

3.13² = 0 + 2 a x .10

a = 49  m/s²

reaction by ground R

Net force

R-mg = ma

R= m ( g +a )

= mg + ma

=W + (W/g) x a

W ( 1 + a / g )

= W ( 1 + 49 / 9.8 )

= 6W

A 0.5 kg block slides down a frictionless semicircular track from a height, h, and collides with a second 1.5 kg block at the bo
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

h' = 0.062\cdot h

Explanation:

The speed of the 0.5 kg block just before the collision is found by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

U_{g} = K

m\cdot g \cdot h = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot h}

v \approx 4.429\cdot \sqrt{h}

Knowing that collision is inelastic, the speed just after the collision is determined with the help of the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(0.5\,kg) \cdot (4.429\cdot \sqrt{h}) = (2\,kg)\cdot v

v = 1.107\cdot \sqrt{h}

Lastly, the height reached by the two blocks is:

K = U_{g}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h'

h' = \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot g}

h' = \frac{(1.107\cdot \sqrt{h})^{2}}{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

h' = 0.062\cdot h
