Explanation Given Info: The speed of light is 3.0 × 10 8 m / s , the energy of the creature is 3.80 eV and the plank constant is 6.63 × 10 − 34 J ⋅ s . Write the formula to calculate the energy of the creature. E = h c λ E is the energy of the creature λ is the wavelength of the photon h is the plank constant c is the speed of light Rewrite the above formula in terms of λ . λ = h c E Substitute 6.63 × 10 − 34 J ⋅ s for h , 3.80 eV for E and 3.0 × 10 8 m / s for c in the above equation to calculate λ . λ = ( 6

Atomic Spectra

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.

9. Some 1800 years ago Roman soldiers effectively used slings as deadly weapons. The length of these slings averaged about 81 cm and the lead shot that they used weighed about 30 grams. If in the wind up to a release, the shot rotated around the Roman slinger with a period of .15 seconds. Find the maximum acceleration of the shot before being released in m/s^2 and report it to two significant figures.
