- Give a brief wave description of light. What are two characteristics of light waves?arrow_forwardThe figure below represents part of the emission spectrum for a one-electron ion in the gas phase. All the lines result from electronic transitions from excited states to the n 3 state. (See Exercise 174.) a. What electronic transitions correspond to lines A and B? b. If the wavelength of line B is 142.5 nm, calculate the wavelength of line A.arrow_forwardIt requires 799 kJ of energy to break one mole of carbon-oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide. What wavelength of light does this correspond to per bond? Is there any transition in the hydrogen atom that has at least this quantity of energy to one photon?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardAs the weapons officer aboard the Srarship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is 7.52 1019 J. a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c. If the hull of the enemy vessel is made of the element with an electron configura tion of [Ar]4s13d10, what metal is this?arrow_forward6.71 Several excited states of the neon atom are important in the operation of a helium-neon laser. In these excited states, one electron of the neon atom is promoted from the 2p level to a higher energy orbital. An excited neon atom with a 1s22s22p55s1 electron configuration can emit a photon with a wavelength of 3391 nm as it makes a transition to a lower energy state with a 1s22s22p54p1 electron configuration. Other transitions are also possible. If an excited neon atom with a 1s22s22p53p1 electron configuration makes a transition to a lower energy state with a 1s22s22p53p1 electron configuration, it emits a photon with a wavelength of 632.8 nm. Find the wavelength of the photon that would be emitted in a transition from the 1s22s22p54p1 electron configuration to the 1s22s22p53p1 electron configuration. (It should help if you start by drawing an energy-level diagram.)arrow_forward
- The retina of the eye contains two types of light-sensitive cells rods (responsible for night vision) and cones (responsible for color vision). Rod cells are about a hundred times more sensitive to light than cone cells and are able to detect a single photon. Suppose a group of rod cells are radiated with a pulse of light having an energy equal to 1.60 1016 J. If the wavelength of this light was 498 nm (the wavelength at which rod cells are most sensitive), how many photons are in this light pulse?arrow_forwardOzone 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.arrow_forwardWhat does it mean to say that the hydrogen atom has discrete energy levels? How is this fact reflected in the radiation that excited hydrogen atoms emit?arrow_forward
- The ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
