The transition that produced red light was caused by an electron jumping the shortest distance.

Visible light is made up of seven wavelengths the magnitude of the wavelength of a transition reflects the energy associated with such transition. The longer the wavelength shorter the transition that produced it.

Given that three lines in the visible spectrum produced three lines as follows;

Red - 625 - 740 nm

Yellow - 565 - 590 nm

Blue - 445 - 520 nm

We can see that the longest wavelength corresponds to red light hence it was caused by an electron jumping the shortest distance.

Artyom0805 [142]
He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.

Alexus [3.1K]
At 10 m/s, it will take
  (2 m)/(10 m/s) = 0.2 s
to bridge the gap.

_____
However, it will take an additional 0.514 seconds (0.714 s total) for the policeman to land on the building below. The answer depends on the meaning of the question.

A baby stroller is a rest on top of a hill which is 10 m high. The stroller and baby have a mass of 20 kg. What is the potential
Anettt [7]

The potential energy is defined as the energy is contained in the body due to the height over the surface of the earth and it is calculated from the equation

PE=mgh

<em>where:</em>

  • PE: the potential energy in Joules.
  • m: the mass of the body in kg.
  • g: the acceleration due to the gravity in m/s^2
  • h: the height of the body over the earth in meters.

<em>in our problem:</em>

PE=20*9.8*10=1960 J
