Chapter 8, Problem 8.154QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The perceived color of gold vapor has to be predicted where the energy gap between the 6s and 5d levels is $\text{4}\text{.32 }\times {\text{10}}^{-19}J$

Concept Introduction:

According to Planck’s equation, energy gap between two levels can be determined as:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{E}\text{=}\frac{\text{hc}}{\text{λ}}\\ \text{where, h}\text{=}\text{Planck's}\text{constant}\\ \text{λ}\text{=}\text{wavelength}\\ \text{c}\text{=}\text{speed}\end{array}$
