The distant galaxy called Cygnus A is one of the strongest sources of radio waves reaching Earth. The distance of this galaxy from Earth is 31024m . How long (in years) does it take a radio wave of wavelength 10 m to reach Earth? What is the frequency of this radio wave?
In 1885, Johann Balmer, a mathematician, derived the following relation for the wavelength of lines in the visible spectrum of hydrogen =364.5 n2( n2 4) where in nanometers and n is an integer that can be 3, 4, 5, . . . Show that this relation follows from the Bohr equation and the equation using the Rydberg constant. Note that in the Balmer series, the electron is returning to the n=2 level.

Suppose an atom in an excited state can return to the ground state in two steps. It first falls to an intermediate state, emitting radiation of wavelength 1 , and then to the ground state, emitting radiation of wavelength 2 . The same atom can also return to the ground state in one step, with the emission of radiation of wavelength . How are 1,2, and related? How are the frequencies of the three radiations related?
Photons are emitted in the Lyman series as hydrogen atoms undergo transitions from various excited states to the ground state. If ground-state He+ are present in the same gas (near stars, for example), can they absorb these photons? Explain.

As the weapons officer aboard the Srarship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is 7.52 1019 J. a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c. If the hull of the enemy vessel is made of the element with an electron configura tion of [Ar]4s13d10, what metal is this?
Electron microscopes operate on the fact that electrons act as waves. A typical electron kinetic energy is 100keV 1eV=1.6021019J. What is the wavelength of such an electron? Ignore relativistic effects.

Investigating Energy Levels Consider the hypothetical atom X that has one electron like the H atom but has different energy levels. The energies of an electron in an X atom are described by the equation E=RHn3 where RH is the same as for hydrogen (2.179 1018 J). Answer the following questions, without calculating energy values. a How would the ground-state energy levels of X and H compare? b Would the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of H be higher or lower than that of an electron in the n = 2 level of X? Explain your answer. c How do the spacings of the energy levels of X and H compare? d Which would involve the emission of a higher frequency of light, the transition of an electron in an H atom from the n = 5 to the n = 3 level or a similar transition in an X atom? e Which atom, X or H, would require more energy to completely remove its electron? f A photon corresponding to a particular frequency of blue light produces a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level of a hydrogen atom. Could this photon produce the same transition (n = 12 to n = 5) in an atom of X? Explain.
The eyes of certain reptiles pass a single visual signal to the brain when the visual receptors are struck by photons of a wavelength of 850 nm. If a total energy of 3.151014 J is required to trip the signal, what is the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor?
