Concept explainers

According to the Bohr model of an atom, the electron in an atom moves around a nucleus in fixed orbits with specific energies known as energy levels. The orbital energies are quantized. The electrons remain in these energy levels until they emit or absor…

Ruby Lasers

Lasers are devices that emit light using atoms or molecules at a certain wavelength and amplify the light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. It works as per the principle of electromagnetic radiation. Their source of emission contains the same freque…

Balmer Series

The spectrum of frequency observed when electromagnetic radiation is emitted from an atom when it goes from higher energy state to lower state, is known as emission spectrum. This transition occurs when an excited electron moves from higher to lower stat…

Emission Spectrum

Every state of matter tries to be at minimum potential energy or it can be said that the atoms of element/ substance arrange themselves such that overall energy is minimum.

Chapter 29, Problem 33PE

(a) If the power output of a 650-kHz radio station is 50.0 kW, how many photons per second are produced? (b) If the radio waves are broadcast uniformly in all directions, find the number of photons per second per square meter at a distance of 100 km. Assume no reflection from the ground or absorption by the air.

A cylindrical rod 1.50 m long and 0.500 cm in diameter is connected to a power source that maintains a constant potential difference of 15.0 V between its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. It is observed that at room temperature (20.0 °C) the ammeter gives a reading of 18.5 A, while at 92.0 °C it gives a reading of 17.2 A. The thermal expansion of the rod can be ignored. Calculate: a) the resistivity and b) the temperature coefficient of resistivity at 20 °C for the rod material.
