Why do different atoms or molecules preferentially absorb different wavelengths of light?

Physics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels. ... Only certain energy levels are allowed, so only certain transitions are possible and hence specific wavelengths are emitted when an electron drops to a lower energy level.

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

U' =mgh....(II)

Using energy of conservation

E_{i}=E_{f}

U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh

h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}

h=11.653\ m

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)
