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 satellite circles the Earth in an orbit whose radius is twice the Earth’s radius. The Earth’s mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and its
gavmur [86]

Hello!

Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:

d = 2\pi r ← The circumference of the orbit

speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later

time = period

Therefore:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.

First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)

r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)

Plug in the givens:
v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(1.276*10^7)}} = 5590.983 m/s

Now, we can solve for the period:

T = \frac{2\pi (1.276*10^7)}{5590.983} =\boxed{ 14339.776 s}

A body accelerates uniformly from rest at 2m/s square. calculate it's velocity after traveling 9m.​
Talja [164]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Acceleration  = 2m/s²

Distance  = 9m

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

         v²  = u²  + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

        v²   = 0² + (2 x 2 x 9) = 36

        v  = 6m/s

K donates, or transfers, one electron to bromine, which has 7 electrons. Both K and Br are now stable with 8 electrons. K become
Charra [1.4K]

K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

<h3 /><h3>Is charge appears when an atom lose or accept electron?</h3>

Yes, the positive ion appears on K and become cation whereas the negative ion bears on Br which make it anion because of losing and gaining of electron by these atoms. This transferring of electrons leads to formation of ionic bonds between them.

So we can conclude that K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.
