2. You are hanging out with your friend Angel, and you decided to warm up some snacks in the microwave. Angle then tells you that he doesn't microwave his food because he read in an article that microwave radiation is even more dangerous than being exposed to UV light because of the high levels of energy in microwave radiation. You disagree with you friend and determine the energy of both types of electromagnetic radiation to prove him wrong. Assume that microwaves have a frequency of 520 MHz and that UV light has a frequency of approximately 780 THz. A. Could you tell if Angel is wrong without any mathematical process, given only the frequencies above? Explain B. Calculate the energy of photons of each type.

Electronic Transitions and Spectroscopy

The term “electronic” connotes electron, and the term “transition” implies transformation. In a molecule, the electrons move from a lower to a higher energy state due to excitation. The two energy states, the ground state and the excited state are the lowest and the highest energy states, respectively. An energy change is observed with this transition, which depicts the various data related to the molecule.

Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a part of experimental chemistry. It is a technique used in laboratories that involves projecting intense beams of radiation on a sample element. In response, the element ejects electrons for which the relative energies are measured.

Microwave ovens heat food by creating microwave electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by water molecules in the food. Any material that does not have water in it will not absorb the radiation and will not get hot. Metals reflect the microwaves from their surfaces and disrupt the operation of the oven.

What is the minimum number of microwave photons with a wavelength of 3.48 mm that will have to be absorbed by a 111.00 gram sample of water to heat it from 25°C to 100°C?

Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light of wavelengths shorter than 320 nm, thus filtering out the most energetic radiation from sunlight. During this absorption, an ozone molecule absorbs a photon, which breaks an oxygen-oxygen bond, yielding an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom: O3(g) + hν → O2(g) + O(g) (Here, hν denotes a photon.) Suppose a flask of ozone is irradiated with a pulse of UV light of wavelength 275 nm. Assuming that each photon of this pulse that is absorbed breaks up one ozone molecule, calculate the energy absorbed per mole of O2 produced, giving the answer in kJ/mol.
