When a low-pressure gas of hydrogen atoms is placed in a tube and a large voltage is applied to the end of the tube, the atoms w

ill emit electromagnetic radiation and visible light can be observed. If this light passes through a diffraction grating, the resulting spectrum appears as a pattern of four isolated, sharp parallel lines, called spectral lines. Each spectral line corresponds to one specific wavelength that is present in the light emitted by the source. Such a discrete spectrum is referred to as a line spectrum. By the early 19th century, it was found that discrete spectra were produced by every chemical element in its gaseous state. Even though these spectra were found to share the common feature of appearing as a set of isolated lines, it was observed that each element produces its own unique pattern of lines. This indicated that the light emitted by each element contains a specific set of wavelengths that is characteristic of that element.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

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

8. A 40.0kg block of metal is suspended from a scale and is immersed in water. The dimensions of the block are 12.0cm x 10.0cm x
Alja [10]

Answer:

a.1017.9N

b.1029.7N

c.T=380.6N

d.11.8 N

Explanation:

(a) The absolute pressure at the level of the top of the block is

Po=atmospheric pressure

g=gravity

h1=height

rh0=density of water

P1=Po+rho*g*h1

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.05)

1.0179*10^5Pa

at the level of the bottom of the block we have

P2=Po+rho*g*h2

1.013*10^5+1000(9.81)(0.17)

1.0297* 10^5 Pa

the downward force exerted on the top by the water is

Ftop=P*A== × = 1.0179* 10^5* 0.100

= 1017.9 N

and the upward force the water exerts on the bottom of the block , which is the buoyant force

Fbot== × = 1.0297 10^5 * 0.100 m

= 1029.7 N

(b) The scale reading is the tension, T, in the cord supporting the block.

if the block is at equilibrium, then sum of vertical forces

EFy=T+Fbot-Ftop-mg=0

T=mg+Ftop-Fbot

T=40*9.81-(1029.7-1017.9)

T=380.6N

(c)  Archimedes principle state that, the buoyant force on the block equals the weight of the displaced water. Thus,

Buoyant force=rho *g*h

= = 1000* 0.100^2 * 0.120 m *9.80 m s=11.8 N

from the answer a Ftop-Fbot

1029.7-1017.9=11.8N, the same as the buoyant force

jasenka [17]
Answer is B. 

In a lever, the effort arm is 2 times as a long as the load arm. The resultant force will be twice the applied force.

Hope it helped you.

A sample of gas has a volume of 215 cm3 at 23.5 °c and 84.6 kpa. what volume (cm3 will the gas occupy at stp
Dafna11 [192]
The answer is 165.3 cm³.

P1 * V1 / T1 = P2 * V2 / T2

The initial sample:
P1 = 84.6 kPa
V1 = 215 cm³
T1 = 23.5°C = 23.5 + 273 K = 296.5 K

At STP:
P2 = 101.3 kPa
V2 = ?
T2 = 273 K

Therefore:
84.6 * 215 / 296.5 = 101.3 * V2 / 273
61.34 = 101.3 * V2 / 273
V2 = 61.34 * 273 / 101.3
V2 = 165.3 cm³
