(a) To Determine:
Is the transition state an absorption or emission and which state energy is higher initial or final when initial state is 1 and final state is 3.
Answer to Problem 48P
Solution:
Final state is higher, so the transition of energy is absorption. The energy of the photon is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial state is 1
Final state is 3.
Formula Used:
Calculation:
The energy of a level can be determined by using the formula
In this question, initial state is 1 and final state is 3. As the value of final state is higher than the value of the initial state so the transition of the energy is absorption.
The energy of the photon can be calculated as
So, the energy of the photon in this transition is
(b) To Determine:
Is the transition state an absorption or emission and which state energy is higher initial or final when initial state is 6 and final state is 2.
Answer to Problem 48P
Solution:
Final state is lower than the initial state. So, the transition of energy is emission. The energy of the photon is .
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial state is 6.
Final state is 2.
Formula Used:
Calculation:
The energy of a level can be determined by using the formula
In this question, initial state is 6 and final state is 2. As the value of final state is lower than the value of the initial state so the transition of the energy is emission.
The energy of the photon can be calculated as
So, the energy of the photon in this transition is
(c) To Determine:
Is the transition state an absorption or emission and which state energy is higher initial or final when initial state is 4 and final state is 5.
Answer to Problem 48P
Solution:
Final state is higher, so the transition of energy is absorption. The energy of the photon is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial state is 4
Final state is 5
Formula Used:
Calculation:
The energy of a level can be determined by using the formula
In this question, initial state is 4 and final state is 5. As the value of final state is higher than the value of the initial state so the transition of the energy is absorption.
The energy of the photon can be calculated as
So, the energy of the photon in this transition is
