What is the longest wavelength light capable of ionizing a hydrogen atom in the ground state?

Physics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m

Explanation:

The energy needed to ionize a hydrogen atom in the ground state is:

E=13.6 eV= 2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J

The energy of the photon is related to the wavelength by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

Solving the formula for the wavelength, we find

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m

A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution?
zloy xaker [14]
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Tension in the cable is T = 16653.32 N

Explanation:

Give data:

Cross section Area A = 1.3 m^2

Drag coefficient CD = 1.2

Velocity V = 4.3 m/s

Angle made by cable with horizontal  =30 degree

Density \rho \ of\  water= 1000 kg/m3

 Drag force FD is given as

F_{D} = \fracP{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A

        = 0.5\times 1000\times 4.32\times  1.2\times 1.3

Drag force = 14422.2 N acting opposite to the motion

As cable made angle  of 30 degree with horizontal  thus horizontal component is take into action to calculate drag force

TCos30 = F_D

T = \frac{F_D}{cos30}

T =\frac{ 14422.2}{cos 30}

T = 16653.32 N

pitot tube on an airplane flying at a standard sea level reads 1.07 x 105 N/m2. What is the velocity of the airplane?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

V_infinty=98.772 m/s

Explanation:

complete question is:

The following problem assume an inviscid, incompressible flow. Also, standard sea level density and pressure are 1.23kg/m3(0.002377slug/ft3) and 1.01imes105N/m2(2116lb/ft2), respectively. A Pitot tube on an airplane flying at standard sea level reads 1.07imes105N/m2. What is the velocity of the airplane?

<u>solution:</u>

<u>given:</u>

<em>p_o=1.07*10^5 N/m^2</em>

<em>ρ_infinity=1.23 kg/m^2</em>

<em>p_infinity=1.01*10^5 N/m^2</em>

p_o=p_infinity+(1/2)*(ρ_infinity)*V_infinty^2

V_infinty^2=9756.097

V_infinty=98.772 m/s
