Have you ever chewed on a wintergreen mint in front of a mirror in the dark? If you have, you may have noticed some sparks of light coming out of your mouth as you chewed on the candy; and, without knowing it, you have experienced a physical phenomenon called triboluminescence. In this problem you will analyze some of the key elements of triboluminescence in wintergreen candies. Part C Image that the radiation emitted by the nitrogen at a frequency of 8.88×1014 Hz is absorbed by an electron in a molecule of methyl salicylate. As a result, the electron in the wintergreen oil molecule jumps to an excited state. Before returning to its ground state, the electron drops an intermediate energy level, releasing two-thirds of the energy previously absorbed and emitting a photon.

Question

Have you ever chewed on a wintergreen mint in
front of a mirror in the dark? If you have, you may
have noticed some sparks of light coming out of
your mouth as you chewed on the candy; and,
without knowing it, you have experienced a
physical phenomenon called triboluminescence. In
this problem you will analyze some of the key
elements of triboluminescence in wintergreen
candies.
Part C
Image that the radiation emitted by the nitrogen at a frequency of 8.88×1014 Hz is absorbed by an
electron in a molecule of methyl salicylate. As a result, the electron in the wintergreen oil molecule
jumps to an excited state. Before returning to its ground state, the electron drops an intermediate
energy level, releasing two-thirds of the energy previously absorbed and emitting a photon. What is
the wavelength Xw of the photon emitted by the wintergreen oil molecule?
Express your answer in nanometers to three significant figures.

Learning Goal: To understand the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. In 1913 Niels Bohr formulated a method of calculating the different energy levels of the hydrogen atom. He did this by combining both classical and quantum ideas. In this problem, we go through the steps needed to understand the Bohr model of the atom. Part A Consider an electron with charge -e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e. In the classical model, the electron orbits around the nucleus, being held in orbit by the electromagnetic interaction between itself and the protons in the nucleus, much like planets orbit around the sun, being held in orbit by their gravitational interaction. When the electron is in a circular orbit, it must meet the condition for circular motion: The magnitude of the net force toward the center, F, is equal to mv²/r. Given these two pieces of information, deduce the velocity of the electron as it orbits around the nucleus. Express your…
