Chapter 37: Q. 1 - Excercises And Problems (page 1081)

What are the wavelengths of spectral lines in the Balmer series with n = 6, 8, and 10?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The wavelengths of spectral lines in the Balmer series with n=6, 8, and 10are:

role="math" localid="1649848736527" λ6=410.31nm

role="math" localid="1649848781747" λ8=389.03nm

λ10=379.92nm

Step by step solution

01

To calculate:

The wavelength of the spectral lines in the Balmer series with n = 6, 8and 10.

02

Simplification

We know, the formula for the Balmer series is :

122-1n2=91.18(nm)λ(where n= 3, 4, 5.....)

λ=91.18(nm)122-1n2

For n= 6:

λ=91.18(nm)122-162

λ=410.31nm

For n=8:

λ=91.18(nm)122-182

λ=389.03nm

For n=10:

λ=91.18(nm)122-1102

λ=379.92nm

Suppose that in a hypothetical oil-drop experiment you measure the following values for the charges on the drops:3.39×10-19C,6.65×10-19C,2.66×10-19C,10.64×10-19Cand9.31×10-19C. What is the largest value of the fundamental unit of charge that is consistent with your measurements?

An electron in a cathode-ray beam passes between 2.5cmlong parallel-plate electrodes that are 5.0mmapart. A

2.0mT, 2.5cmwide magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field between the plates. The electron passes through the electrodes without being deflected if the potential difference between the plates is 600V.

a. What is the electron’s speed?

b. If the potential difference between the plates is set to zero, what is the electron’s radius of curvature in the magnetic field?

shows a rocket traveling from left to right. At the instant it is halfway between two trees, lightning simultaneously (in the rocket’s frame) hits both trees. a. Do the light flashes reach the rocket pilot simultaneously? If not, which reaches her first? Explain. b. A student was sitting on the ground halfway between the trees as the rocket passed overhead. According to the student, were the lightning strikes simultaneous? If not, which tree was hit first? Explain.

11. An alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus with q=+2e) accelerates across a 100V potential difference, starting from rest. What is the particle’s kinetic energy in eV when it reaches the negative electrode? This question requires no mathematics beyond what you can do in your head.
