A science student observes three lines in an emission spectrum, one red, one yellow, and one blue. Which one was caused by an el

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.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Which of the following is/are true? Electromagnetic waves are created by accelerating charges. Electromagnetic waves are transve
Vikki [24]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

(a). true  

whenever  charge particle  move back and froth from its mean position then it will produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, . so an em wave can be obtain by accelerating charge

(b). true

the electric field and the magnetic field have vibrations in the perpendicular direction along  the motion of the wave  so electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. therefore, the EM wave is a Transverse wave

(c) true .

The Electromagnetic wave consists of the two mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields  and also both fields are  perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

(d) true .

An electromagnetic wave  carry  energy through  vacuum with a speed   of 3 \times 10^8 m/s  

   so , all of the above are true.

HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!! IF YOU LEAVE AN ANSWER EXPLAIN! THANKS
Travka [436]

Answer:

the answer is C

Explanation:

we know this because if you compare the graphs and look at the direction. it isn't always in the explanation or the few sentences they gave you at the top. also, look at the waves, you can see in Davids drawing that it is directly straight up, A and B do not represent that. A isn't even a valid answer. Notice also in A that the arrow is going in the completely different direction than in Davids drawing. B is also going a different direction even though it is only turned a little bit although if it was straight up like Davids drawing then it would most likely be a correct answer. C does have one arrow going a different direction but look at how it has two, showing in which if the waves were to turn then the arrow is still valid

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han
boyakko [2]

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.
