2. A) Calculate the frequency of the first Balmer line of hydrogen.

B) If the above Balmer line of hydrogen is emitted from a distant galaxy of light years away, will you still be able to observe the same frequency as calculated from question A? Why or why not?

C) If not, what should be the observed frequency? Show detailed derivation and calculations.

Ignore air resiststance and Gravity. 1. When Hydrogen is heated on earth, it emits 4 colours of visible light of wavelengths 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm and 656 nm. When Hydrogen on a distant galaxy is observed, the 410 nm light appears to have a wavelength of 409 nm. a) Is the galaxy moving towards earth or away from it? Explain. b) Find the relative velocity of the galaxy with respect to the observer on earth. [Note: For this...

1. Calculate the energy (in kJ/mol) of the Lyman series line for hydrogen that is, the transition from n=2 to n=1 (1 kJ/mol= 8.6 cm^-1) 2. Would you expect the energy of the same transition as in the first problem to be greater or less for the helium ion, He^+? Why? Make a sketch to relative scale the energy levels that give rise to the Lyman bands in H-atoms and He^+.

The wavelengths of spectral lines depends to some extent on the mass of the nucleus. This occurs because the nucleus is not an infinitely heavy mass that remains stationary. In fact, in reality, both the nucleus and the electron orbit about their common center of mass. It can be shown that a system of this type is entirely equivalent to a single object with a mass μμ (called the Reduced Mass) that orbits about the location of the nucleus at...

QUESTION 1. A ferris wheel has a radius of 12 m. The center of the ferris wheel is 14 m above the ground. When it is rotating at full speed the ferris wheel takes 10 s to make a full turn. We can track one seat on the ferris wheel. Let’s define t = 0 to be a time when that seat is at the top of the ferris wheel while the ferris wheel is rotating at full speed. (a)...
