Concept explainers
Different bells and tuning forks have their own natural vibrations and emit their own tones when struck. How is this analogous to atoms, molecules, and light?
To explain: The analogy in context to atoms, molecules, and light.
Answer to Problem 10A
Vibrating electrons presents in atom and molecules that emits light.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Light is electromagnetic radiation. It has a speed of
Explanation: The electron presents in Atoms and molecules become excited by absorbing energy, and it also vibrates at distinctive frequencies. These vibrations of electron emit light.
Conclusion: Light is emitted by the atoms and molecules when the electrons vibrate.
