Calculate the wavelength of light emitted when each of the following transitions occur in the hydrogen atom. What type of electromagnetic radiation is emitted in each transition?
a. n = 4 → n = 3
b. n = 5 → n = 4
c. n = 5 → n = 3
Initially, there is 50 mg of a certain radioactive material present and after two hours, it is observed that the material has lost 10% of its original mass.
Find: a) the mass of the material after 4 hours
b) the time at which the mass has decayed to one-half of its initial mass (half-life of the material)
Application of Differential Equation
A zircon sample contains 4000 atoms of the radioactive element 235U given that 235U has a half-life of 700 million years, how long would it take to decay to 125 atoms?
