Answer:

3.8 x 10⁴ Ω

Explanation:

C = Capacitance = 165 μF

R = resistance of the filament = ?

t = time taken to charge the capacitor = 10 s

Q₀ = maximum charge stored by capacitor

Q = charge stored by capacitor at time "t" = 0.80 Q₀

T = Time constant

Charge stored by capacitor at any time is given as

$Q = Q_{o}(1 - e^{\frac{-t}{T}})$

$0.80 Q_{o} = Q_{o}(1 - e^{\frac{-10}{T}})$

T = 6.21 s

Time constant is given as

T = RC

6.21 = R (165 x 10⁻⁶)

R = 3.8 x 10⁴ Ω

Answer:

The value of n is $n =7$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The value of m = 2

For every value of $m, n = m+ 1, m+2,m+3,....$

The modified version of Balmer's formula is $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R [\frac{1}{m^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} ]$

The Rydberg constant has a value of $R = 1.097 *10^{7} m^{-1}$

The objective of this solution is to obtain the value of n for which the wavelength of the Balmer series line is smaller than 400nm

For m = 2 and n =3

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{1523611.1112}$

$\lambda = 656nm$

For m = 2 and n = 4

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{4^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2056875}$

$\lambda = 486nm$

For m = 2 and n = 5

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{5^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2303700}$

$\lambda = 434nm$

For m = 2 and n = 6

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{6^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2422222}$

$\lambda = 410nm$

For m = 2 and n = 7

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{7^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2518622}$

$\lambda = 397nm$

So the value of n is 7
