A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. the shortest observed wavelength

is 278 nm ; light with a 454 nm wavelength is also observed.what is the third wavelength?

The wavelength emitted is indirectly proportional to the difference in the change in the energy level. For the wavelength 278 nm the change in energy level is significantly high. Further change in energy level is indicated by 454nm light but the difference in energy level for this wavelength to be emitted  is not greater than the previous one. There is a possibility that these subsystems have now very low energy which should result in wavelengths ranging from 700 to 900 nm. There is another possibility that there is some metastable subsystems in the system which may cause LASER emission.

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length l=1.00m and cross-sectional area a=0.500mm2. the young's modulus of the steel i
laiz [17]
L = 1.00 m, the original length
A = 0.5 mm² = 0.5 x 10⁻⁶ m², the cross sectional area
E = 2.0 x 10¹¹ n/m², Young's modulus
P = 1500 N, the applied tension

Calculate the stress.
σ = P/A = (1500 N)/(0.5 x 10⁻⁶ m²) = 3 x 10⁹ N/m²

Let δ =  the stretch of the string.
Then the strain is
ε = δ/L

By definition, the strain is
ε = σ/E = (3 x 10⁹ N/m²)/(2 x 10¹¹ N/m²) = 0.015
Therefore
δ/(1 m) = 0.015
δ = 0.015 m = 15 mm

Answer:  15 mm

A 20kg mass approaches a spring at a speed of 30 m/s. The mass compresses the spring 12cm before coming to a stop. Calculate the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m

Two fun-loving otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy (and hence frictionless) horizontal surface. One of them, of mass
zvonat [6]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one otter = 8.50 kg

Speed = 6.00 m/s

Mass of other = 5.75 kg

Speed = 5.50 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of these free-spirited otters right after they collide

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

Put the value into the formula

8.50\times(-6.00)+5.75\times5.50=(8.50+5.75)\times v

v=\dfrac{-19.375}{14.25}

v=-1.35\ m/s

Negative sign shows the direction of motion of the object after collision is toward left.

(b). We need to calculate the initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times8.50\times(6.00)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.75\times(5.50)^2

K.E_{i}=239.96\ J

We need to calculate the final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(8.50+5.75)\times(-1.35)^2

K.E_{f}=12.98\ J

We need to calculate the mechanical energy dissipates during this play

Using formula of loss of mechanical energy

\Delta K.E=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta K.E=12.98-239.96

\Delta K.E=-226.98\ J

Negative sign shows the loss of mechanical energy

Hence, (a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

The H line in Calcium is normally at 396.9 nm. However, in a star's spectrum, it is measured at 398.1nm. How fast is the star mo
agasfer [191]

As we know by Doppler's effect of light we have

\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{v}{c}

here we will have

[tex}\frac{398.1 nm - 396.9 nm}{398.1 nm} = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

here by solving above we have

3.01 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{v}{c}

here we have

v = 904.3 km/s

since wavelength is increased so we can say that it is moving away

so correct answer is

1- 904.3 km/s away from the Earth
