The Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change

in energy level, either beginning at the n = 1 level (in the case of an absorption line) or ending there (an emission line).
The inverse wavelengths for the Lyman series in hydrogen are given by:
1/λ = RH (1 - 1/n^2) ,
where n = 2, 3, 4, and the Rydberg constant RH = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1. (Round your answers to at least one decimal place. Enter your answers in nm.)
(a) Compute the wavelength for the first line in this series (the line corresponding to n = 2).
(b) Compute the wavelength for the second line in this series (the line corresponding to n = 3).
(c) Compute the wavelength for the third line in this series (the line corresponding to n = 4).
(d) In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do these three lines reside?
O visible light region
O infrared region
O ultraviolet region
O gamma ray region
O x-ray region

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m

(b)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m

(c)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

How is power defined? Question 4 options: the quantity of work accomplished the direction of the work the total distance an obje
GarryVolchara [31]

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is accomplished.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3></h3><h3>Power </h3>

The work done by an object in a given time interval is called the power of that object.

Suppose an external force F is applied to any object for the time interval T seconds. Due to this external force, the object will perform some amount of work for the time T seconds. This work W done by the object for the time interval T seconds is called the power of that object.

Power can be defined in mathematical term which is given below.

P = \dfrac {W}{T} \;\rm Watts

Thus the power can also be defined as the work done by the object per unit time interval.

Hence we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.

To know more about power, follow the link given below.
