A negative test charge experiences a force to the right as a result of an electric field. Which is the best conclusion to draw
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The electric field points to the left because the force on a negative charge is opposite to the direction of the field.

Explanation:

In an electric field, a positive charge has tendency to move from high to low potential and hence experience the electric force in the direction of electric field since electric field lines are directed from high to low potential.

In an electric field, a negative charge has tendency to move from low to high potential and hence experience the electric force in the direction opposite to  electric field since electric field lines are directed from high to low potential.This phenomenon happened because The electric field from a positive charge will points away from the charge while the electric field from a negative charge will points toward the charge.

Explain why a 5eV photon of light cannot be absorbed or emitted by the hydrogen atom
sweet [91]

Answer:

None of the transitions in the hydrogen atom corresponds to a photon energy of 5eV hence no photon of this energy is absorbed or emitted by the hydrogen atom.

Explanation:

Electrons in a hydrogen atom must be in one of the allowed energy levels. If an electron is in the first energy level, it must have exactly -13.6 eV of energy. If it is in the second energy level, it must have -3.4 eV of energy and so on.

If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level, n = 1, to the second energy level n = 2. The second energy level has higher energy than the first, so to move from n = 1 to n = 2, the electron needs to gain energy. It needs to gain (-3.4) - (-13.6) = 10.2 eV of energy to be excited to the second energy level.

The step from the second energy level to the third is much smaller. It takes only 1.89 eV of energy for this excitation to take place. It takes even less energy to excite electrons in hydrogen from the third energy level to the fourth, and even less from the fourth to the fifth.

None of these transitions in the hydrogen atom corresponds to a photon energy of 5eV hence no photon of this energy is absorbed or emitted by the hydrogen atom.

Which type of magma is known for the most violent eruptions?
Anni [7]

Answer: B. Rhyolitic

Rhyolitic magma is responsible for most violent volcanic eruptions. Rhyolitic magma erupts catastrophically with high intensity gas content. This magma being more viscous traps gases, builds pressures and erupts explosively. High viscosity of this magma is because of high silica content that erupt with the mineral contents of the rocks.
