An electron in a mercury atom jumps from level a to level g by absorbing a single

Answer:

7.39ev

Explanation:

Energy levels are found inside the atom. Electrons occupy these energy levels depending on the energy they possess. Electrons can move from one energy level to another due to absorption or emission of a photon or other factors. As the electron, jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level emitting a photon of measurable frequency, the photon carries energy equal to the amount of energy between the gap of the levels. This idea was first proposed by Neils Bohr and became the forerunner of the wave mechanical model of the atom.

Hence the energy of a photon is the energy of the gap between the two energy levels. Since Ea= 2.48ev and Eg= 10.38 ev.

If an electron jumps from Ea to Eg, the energy of the photon absorbed is given by;

E=Eg-Ea

E= 10.38ev - 2.48ev

E= 7.39ev

Which energy resources are found above the Earth's surface​
never [62]

Answer: the sun

Explanation:

The sun's radiant energy reaches the earth's surface either directly through radiation, indirectly through convection, or it can move "across" or "through" objects or materials on the surface via conduction. Let's look more closely at each case. We've probably experienced the feeling of "warmth" of the sun on our skin on a sunny day. Light energy from the sun is reaching us across space and down through the atmosphere through radiation. A dark colored vehicle in the sun quickly becomes warm (or hot!) to the touch because of radiation. The light energy from the sun heats the air in the earth's atmosphere, and this drives convection and transfers thermal energy around. It is possible that we've felt a "hot breeze" on our skin on sunny days. The thermal energy in the air will be carried to objects in its path, and it will warm them.

The speed of a 2 kg mass on a spring is 5 m/s as it passes through its equilibrium position. What is its frequency if the amplit
Lena [83]

Solution :

Given :

Mass of the object attached to the spring, m = 2 kg

Velocity of the object as it moves, V = 5 m/s

Amplitude of the object as it swings, A = 2.5 m

We have to find the frequency of the object.

We known,

$V_{max} = \omega A = 2 \pi f A$

Therefore, $f= \frac{V_{max}}{2 \pi A}$

$f= \frac{5}{2 \times 3.14 \times 2.5}$

f   = 0.32 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the object is 0.32 hertz when the amplitude of the 2 kg mass is 2.5 m moving a speed of 5 m/s.

23. What does a step-up transformer do?
nadya68 [22]

Answer: A transformer that increases the voltage from primary to secondary (more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns) is called a step-up transformer. As a step-down unit, this transformer converts high-voltage, low-current power into low-voltage, high-current power.
