A hypothetical atom has five energy levels. How many emission lines will it produce?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If an electron excites to fifth energy level, It will transit to 4 or 3 or 2 or 1. Similarly find the number of emission lines from other energy levels.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
