When an electron falls from a higher to a lower energy level in an atom, the photon released has a wavelength of 121.6 nm. What

yarga [219]

Answer:

$\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

The energy difference between the energy levels involved in the transition of the electron is directly proportional to the frequency of the emitted photon:

$\Delta E=h\nu(1)$

Where h is the Planck constant. The photon's frequency is inversely proportional to its wavelegth:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)$

Here c is the speed of light. Replacing (2) in (1):

$\Delta E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Delta E=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34}J\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{121.6*10^{-9}m}\\\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J$

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug

wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.

It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.

The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves. </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field, meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

Which of the following is a hypothesis?

inna [77]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Hypothesis is one of the science methods. Hypothesis is the same as guessing. It's a scientific method that precedes observations.

According to the question asking that Which of the following is a hypothesis ?

The correct option is C which is

If a squid is attacked by a predator, it will squirt ink

It is an hypothesis because there is no experimental evidence to back it up.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to a light bulb? the electrical energy put into the light bulb equals the light

andrew-mc [135]

<span>The law of conservation of energy applies to a light bulb because the energy is being transformed into light and the light bulb is acting as a catalyst. The light bulb itself is not a form of energy, however when in combination with the electrical outlet to the bulb the electricity heats up the metal interior forming it into light. according to the law of conservation energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead is formed into different kinds of energy. In relation to a light bulb electrical currents are forming heat energy by heating up the metal interior, then the bulb or glass around it allows to radiate light.</span>
