What is the wavelength (in nm) of a photon emitted during transition from the n = 3 state to the n = 1 state in the H atom?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

\lambda=103\ nm

Explanation:

E_n=-2.179\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules

For transitions:

Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.179\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

Also, \Delta E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

So,  

\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=2.179\times 10^{-18}(|\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2}|)\ J

\lambda=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times (|\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2}|)}\ m

So,  

\lambda=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times (|\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2}|)}\ m

Given, n_i=3\ and\ n_f=1

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{{2.179\times 10^{-18}}\times |(\frac{1}{3^2} - \dfrac{1}{1^2})}|\ m

\lambda=\frac{10^{-26}\times \:19.878}{10^{-18}\times \:2.179|\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{1}\right)|}\ m

\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-7}\ m

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

\lambda=103\ nm

ANALOGY, Metal ions: buoys, as electrons: _____.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a. water

Explanation:

A buoy is a floating object that is used in the sea to locate some point or as a checkpoint. It stays at its designated position in the sea by means of an anchor chain. This chain is made short in length according to the water depth do the buoy can not deviate much from its position. The same mechanism can be applied to the metal ion. When a metal ion is formed it remains at its place, but the electrons are mobile and they travel when they get a medium. For example in circuits or from one atom to other. And for the case of buoy, the water serves as electrons as the water is moving in the medium. Hence, the second analogy will be:

electrons : water

So, the correct option is:

<u>a. water</u>

An object weighs 15N in air and 13N when completely
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

<em>From Archimedes' principle,</em>

<em>Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.</em>

<em>U = W₁ - W₂..................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.</em>

<em>Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>U = 15 - 13 </em>

<em>U = 2 N</em>

<em>But,</em>

<em>Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.</em>

<em>Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity.................... Equation 2</em>

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water.............. Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³
