Answer: The correct answer is an emission line spectrum.

Explanation:

When the electrons are excited to the higher energy level, the energy is absorbed in this case.

When the electrons in the atom step down to lower energy levels in a thin cloud of hot gas then the radiation will emit.

The electron will lose energy in this case in the form of radiation. There will be an emission line spectrum.

When the electrons step down to lower energy level, emission line spectrum produced.

Further Explanation:

The spectrum of emission of an element is spectrum of wavelength of radiation emitted during the transition of electron from a higher energy level to lower energy level. The energy of photon emitted in this process is equal to difference between the two levels. There is possibility of different types of transition for an atom and energy difference is specific for each atom.

When electrons are excited in atom, extra energy forces electrons to higher energy orbital. When electron goes to lower state, energy releases in form of photon. This emitted photon form the emission line spectrum.

Emission is process in which higher energy state of the particle convert into a lower state through the emission of photon, which produces light. The frequency of emitted light is function of transitional energy.

Since energy of system conserved, difference in energy between two states equal to energy carried by photon. The energy state of transitions results in emission of large frequency range.

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment

ohaa [14]

The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to. But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see.

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it. You don't know.

So your experiment is not really much good. You need to do it again.

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j

AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of $\Psi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2) Fundamental units of $\Phi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Explanation:

The equation for the variable $\rho$ is

$\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}$

where we have:

$\rho$ measured in $[\frac{mol}{ft^3}]$

$\gamma$ measured in $[\frac{J}{kg}]$

$r$ measured in $[in]$

$g$ measured in $[\frac{m}{s^2}]$

We can re-write the equation as

$\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi$

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, $\Psi$ must have the same units of $\rho r g$ . So,

$[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]$

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of $\Psi$ are

$[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$
