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.

An electron is accelerated by a 3.6 kv potential difference. the charge on an electron is 1.60218 × 10−19 c and its mass is 9.10
katen-ka-za [31]
By definition, the potential energy is:
 U = qV
 Where,
 q: load
 V: voltage.
 Then, the kinetic energy is:
 K = mv ^ 2/2
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed.
 As the power energy is converted into kinetic energy, we have then:
 U = K
 Equating equations:
 qV = mv ^ 2/2
 From here, we clear the speed:
 v = root (2qV / m)
 Substituting values we have:
 v = root ((2 * (1.60218 × 10 ^ -19) * 3600) /9.10939×10^-31))
 v = 3.56 × 10 ^ 7 m / s
 Then, the centripetal force is:
 Fc = Fm
 mv ^ 2 / r = qvB
 By clearing the magnetic field we have:
 B = mv / qr
 Substituting values:
 B = (9.10939 × 10 ^ -31) * (3.56 × 10 ^ 7) / (1.60218 × 10 ^ -19) * 0.059
 B = 3.43 × 10 ^ -3 T
 Answer:
 
A magnetic field that must be experienced by the electron is:
 
B = 3.43 × 10 ^ -3 T

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 26 m/s^2 . The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of plane
valkas [14]

Answer:

13 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity near the surface of a planet is:

g = MG / R^2

For planet 1, g = 26 m/s^2.

The gravity on planet 2 in terms of the mass and radius of planet 1 is:

g = (2M)G / (2R^2)

g = 1/2 MG / R^2

Since MG/R^2 = 26 m/s^2, then:

g = 13 m/s^2
