1. An electron in an atom absorbs a photon with an energy of 2.38 eV and jumps from the n = 2 to n = 4 energy level in the atom.
oksian1 [2.3K]

1. 1.0\cdot 10^{-6}m

First of all, let's convert the energy of the absorbed photon into Joules:

E=2.38 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19}J/eV)=1.98\cdot 10^{-19} J

The energy of the photon can be rewritten as:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

Re-arranging the formula, we can solve to find the wavelength of the absorbed photon:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.98\cdot 10^{-19} J}=1.0\cdot 10^{-6}m

2. 1.24 eV

In this case, when the electron jumps from the n=4 level to the n=3 level, emits a photon with wavelength

\lambda=1.66\cdot 10^{-6}m

So the energy of the emitted photon is given by the formula used previously:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

and using

\lambda=1.66\cdot 10^{-6}m

we find

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.0\cdot 10^{-6}m}=1.99\cdot 10^{-19}J

converting into electronvolts,

E=\frac{1.99\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=1.24eV

EDIT: an issue in Brainly does not allow me to add the last 2 parts of the solution - I have added them as an attachment to this post, check the figure in attachment.

A flat screen is located 0.63 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 550 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1.308 * 10^(-5) m

Explanation:

We apply the condition for a single slit experiment:

y = (λ * D) / a

Where y = half width of fringe

λ = wavelength of light

D = distance of slit from screen

a = width of slit

We need to find a, so we make a the subject of formula:

a = (λ * D) / y

From the question:

λ = 550 nm = 550 * 10^(-9) m

D = 0.63 m

y = 0.053 / 2 = 0.0265 m

Therefore:

a = (550 * 10^(-9) * 0.63) / 0.0265

a = 1.308 * 10^(-5) m

The width of the slit is 1.308 * 10^(-5) m

When waves travel through water, why do the moving water particles continue to return to their starting position??
Law Incorporation [45]
Waves transfer energy not matter. so simply put, the water doesn't move. it's just being used as a road that energy uses to get from point a to b. it's easier to think of some thing on the water rather than the water it self. like a cork floating on the surface. when a wave passes through the cork. the cork goes up to the peak of the wave and then down to the trough of the wave and then back at equilibrium. it only moved up and down since it was following the wave pattern. if the waves transfered matter as well as energy then the cork would begin to get pushed by the wave and move towards the direction of travel

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in
Anit [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, 
<span>Q = amount of heat (kJ) </span>
<span>cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK </span>
<span>m = mass (kg) </span>
<span>dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin </span>

<span>Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K </span>
<span>Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal</span>

Imagine you had a bar of gold and decided to cut in half. You repeated this process until eventually you could no longer cut the
nydimaria [60]

This would prove that gold is an <em>element</em>.  No matter how far down you
examine it, you never find any particles of anything except gold.

An example of a different case is salt. 
-- Imagine you had a block of salt and decided to cut it in half.
-- If you repeated this process, then eventually, at some point, you'd have
a tiny particle of salt in front of you, just like before.  BUT ...
-- Just as you were getting ready to cut this one in half, you'd notice that this
particle of salt is different.  It's one atom of sodium stuck to one atom of chlorine,
and if you cut it in half, you would not have ANY salt.   <span />

This would prove that salt is a <em><u>compound</u></em>, made of atoms of two or more elements.
