When a tube containing hydrogen atoms is energized by passing several thousand volts of electricity into the tube, the hydrogen emits light than when passed through a prism, resolves into the "bright line" spectrum shown in Fig. 11.10. Why do hydrogen atoms emit bright lines of specific wavelengths rather than a continuous spectrum?

A baseball weighs 142 g. A professional pitcher throws a fast ball at a speed of 100 mph and a curve ball at 80 mph. What wavelengths are associated with the motions of the baseball? If the uncertainty in the position of the ball is 12 wavelength, which ball (fast ball or curve) has a more precisely known position? Can the uncertainty in the position of a curve ball be used to explain why batters frequently miss it?
Lasers are now used for the total or partial removal of skin tattoos. A laser with a wavelenth of 755 nm is used to remove tattoos in green or blue inks. (a) How much energy (in kJ/mol) is given off by the laser? (b) Compare the energy obtained in (a) with that given off by an x-ray (=1109m).
This laser emits green light with a wavelength of 533 nm. (a) What is the energy, in joules, of one photon of light at this wavelength? (b) If a particular laser produces 1.00 watt (W) of power (1 W = 1 J/s), how many photons are produced each second by the laser?

Answer the following questions about a Blu-ray laser: (a) The laser on a Blu-ray player has a wavelength of 405 nm. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? What is its frequency? (b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 millwatts (1watt=1Js1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hour? (c) The ideal resolution of a player using a laser (such as a Blu-ray player), which determines how close together data can be stored on a compact disk, is determined using the following formula: Resolution =0.60(/NA), where A is the wavelength of the laser and NA is the numerical aperture. Numerical aperture is a measure of the size of the spot of light on the disk; the larger the NA, the smaller the spot. In a typical Blu-ray system, NA = 0.95. If the 405-nm laser is used in a Blu-ray player, what is the closest that information can be stored on a Blu-ray disk? (d) The data density of a Blu-ray disk using a 405-nm laser is 1.5107 bits mm2. Disks have an outside diameter of 120 mm and a hole of 15-mm diameter. How many data bits can be contained on the disk? If a Blu-ray disk can hold 9,400,000 pages of text, how many data bits are needed for a typed page? (Hint: Determine the area of the disk that is available to hold data. The area inside a circle is given by A=r2, where the radius r is one-half of the diameter.)
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)+hvO2(g)+O(g) (Here, hv 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.
Photons of infrared radiation are responsible for much of the warmth we feel when holding our hands before a fire. These photons will also warm other objects. How many infrared photons with a wavelength of 1.5106 m must be absorbed by the water to warm a cup of water (175 g) from 25.0 C to 40 C?
The materials called phosphors that coat the inside of a fluorescent lamp convert ultraviolet radiation (from the mercury-vapor discharge inside the tube) into visible light. Could one also make a phosphor that converts visible light to ultraviolet? Explain.
