- A hydrogen atom in the ground stale absorbs a photon whose wavelength is 95.0 nm. The resulting excited atom then emits a photon of 1282 nm. What are the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum for the radiations involved in these transitions? What is the principal quantum number of the final state resulting from the emission from the excited atom?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_forward6.17 The laser in most supermarket barcode scanners operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm.

If the wavelength of line B is 142.5 nm, calculate the wavelength of line A.arrow_forward6.96 When a helium atom absorbs light at 58.44 nm, an electron is promoted from the 1s orbital to a 2p orbital. Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium atom.arrow_forwardThe root-mean-square speed of an oxygen molecule, O2, at 21C is 479 m/s. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for an O2 molecule traveling at this speed. How does this wavelength compare with the approximate length of this molecule, which is about 242 pm?

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(a) Which color in the visible spectrum has the highest frequency?

- Warm objects emit electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region. Heat lamps employ this principle to generate infrared radiation. Water absorbs infrared radiation with wavelengths near 2.80 m. Suppose this radiation is absorbed by the water and converted to heat. A 1.00-L sample of water absorbs infrared radiation, and its temperature increases from 20.0C to 30.0C. How many photons of this radiation are used to heat the water?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.

What is the color of this light?arrow_forward
