Absorbed photon energy
Ea = hc/λ.. (Planck's equation)
Ea = hc / 92.05^-9m 

<span>Energy emitted
Ee = hc/ 1736^-9m </span>

Energy retained ..
∆E = Ea - Ee = hc(1/92.05<span>^-9 - 1/1736^-9) </span>
<span>∆E = (6.625^-34)(3.0^8) (1.028^7)
∆E = 2.04^-18 J </span>

<span>Converting J to eV (1.60^-19 J/eV)
 ∆E = 2.04^-18 / 1.60^-19
∆E = 12.70 eV </span>

<span>Ground state (n=1) energy for Hydrogen = - 13.60eV </span>

<span>New energy state = (-13.60 + 12.70)eV = -0.85 eV </span>

<span>Energy states for Hydrogen
En = - (13.60 / n²) </span>

n² = -13.60 / -0.85 = 16
n = 4

Can atoms be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

During chemical reaction, atomes cannot be created or destroyed, they can only react together to form <em>E</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em> </em>or <em>C</em><em>o</em><em>m</em><em>p</em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em>at the <em>P</em><em>r</em><em>o</em><em>d</em><em>u</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em> </em>side.

A wooden object from the site of an ancient temple has a carbon-14 activity of 10 counts/min compared with a reference piece of
Arada [10]

Answer:

Age of the ancient wood object is 11460 years.

Explanation:

We know that half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 years. That means the activity of the sample will decrease to half every 5730 years.

Now we construct the following table:

activity (counts/min)        age of the wooden object

      40                                                  0

      20                                               5730

      10                                                11460

1) Why does the spinning motion cool the wet bulb thermometer in a sling psychrometer when there is less humidity in the air?
disa [49]

Answer:1)Once the wick is wet, hold the handle and whirl the psychrometer in the air. Whirling generates airflow around both the wet and dry bulbs. This action allows water in the saturated wick to evaporate, thereby reducing the temperature of the wet-bulb thermometer.

2)The rate of evaporation from the wet bandage on the bulb, and the temperature difference between the dry bulb and wet bulb, depends on the humidity of the air. The evaporation is reduced when the air contains more water vapor.
