Explanation For the lymann series final state is one and also the shortest wave length is for infinity state and longest wavelength is for smallest value of state. Write the equation to find the wavelength of lymann series of hydrogen. 1 λ = R ( 1 1 2 − 1 n 2 ) n=2,3,4, (1) Here, λ is the wavelength of the line. R is the Rydberg constant. n is the final state. Substitute value 1.097 × 10 7 m − 1 for R and ∞ for n for getting the shortest wavelength. 1 λ = R ( 1 1 2 − 1 ∞ ) = R (2) Rewrite equation (2) to get wave length. λ = 1 R = 1 ( 1.097 × 10 7 m -1 ) = 91.16 nm Similarly substitute value 1.097 × 10 7 m − 1 for R and 2 for n in equation (1) for getting the longest wavelength. 1 λ = R ( 1 1 2 − 1 2 2 ) = 3 R 4 = 121.5 nm For paschen series of hydrogen the final state is three and the shortest wavelength is for state ∞ and longest wave length is for smallest state number. Write the equation to find the wavelength of paschen series of hydrogen. 1 λ = R ( 1 3 2 − 1 n 2 ) n=4,5,6 (3) Here, λ is the wavelength of the line

Atomic Spectra

According to the Bohr model of an atom, the electron in an atom moves around a nucleus in fixed orbits with specific energies known as energy levels. The orbital energies are quantized. The electrons remain in these energy levels until they emit or absor…

Ruby Lasers

Lasers are devices that emit light using atoms or molecules at a certain wavelength and amplify the light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. It works as per the principle of electromagnetic radiation. Their source of emission contains the same freque…

Balmer Series

The spectrum of frequency observed when electromagnetic radiation is emitted from an atom when it goes from higher energy state to lower state, is known as emission spectrum. This transition occurs when an excited electron moves from higher to lower stat…

Emission Spectrum

Every state of matter tries to be at minimum potential energy or it can be said that the atoms of element/ substance arrange themselves such that overall energy is minimum.

In the movie Fast X, a 10100 kg round bomb is set rolling in Rome. The bomb gets up to 17.6 m/s. To try to stop the bomb, the protagonist Dom swings the counterweight of a crane, which has a mass of 354000 kg into the bomb at 3.61 m/s in the opposite direction. Directly after the collision the crane counterweight continues in the same direction it was going at 2.13 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bomb right after the collision?
