First we find for the wavelength of the photon released due to change in energy level. We use the Rydberg equation:

1/ʎ = R [1/n1^2 – 1/n2^2]

where,

ʎ is the wavelength

R is the rydbergs constant = 1.097×10^7 m^-1

n1 is the 1st energy level = 1

n2 is the higher energy level = infinity, so 1/n2 = 0

 

Calculating for ʎ:

1/ʎ = 1.097×10^7 m^-1 * [1/1^2 – 0]

ʎ = 9.1158 x 10^-8 m

 

Then calculate the energy using Plancks equation:

E = hc/ʎ

where,

h is plancks constant = 6.626×10^−34 J s

c is speed of light = 3x10^8 m/s

 

E = (6.626×10^−34 J s * 3x10^8 m/s) / 9.1158 x 10^-8 m

E = 2.18 x 10^-18 J = 2.18 x 10^-21 kJ

 

This is still per atom, so multiply by Avogadros number = 6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mol:

E = (2.18 x 10^-21 kJ / atom) * (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mol)

E = 1312 kJ/mol

Answer:

1. A

2. B

Explanation:

1. Most of the answers don't make that much sense, so using process of elimination I resulted in this answer. I recommend you also try to check with others.

2. This question also was pretty confusing but when using process of elimination I resulted in either A or B. To me B makes more sense.

Why do Man holes(road) build by use only circular type??
sashaice [31]

Answer: Manholes are usually round, primarily because roundness is the best shape to resist the compression of the earth; covers are round because they are easier to manufacture than square or rectangular shapes, they are easier to move by rolling, and they can't fall into the opening.

What is the mass of an object with a net force of 10 N accelerating at 2 m/s^2??
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

5kg

Explanation:

Force = Mass x acceleration

F = ma

m = F/a = 10N/2m/s^2

m = 10/2 = 5kg

The standard unit for mass = Kilogram
