2. If the intensity of light shined on a solution sample is “100" (call this lo), and the solution absorbs some of the light (call this intensity I), define the “percent transmission (%T)" (percent of the light that gets through the sample) in terms of these variables. If light of intensity 250 is shined on sample of a substance, and light with intensity 85 is transmitted through the sample, what is the %T of the solution ?

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?
6.72 LED bulbs offer a fairly new lighting alternative, and are becoming increasingly popular in home lighting. These bulbs combine excellent energy efficiency with the “warm” light and dimming ability of incandescent lights. Although LED bulbs are expensive, manufacturers claim that subsequent savings will more than offset the initial costs. Analyze the relative cost of incandescent versus LED lighting, assuming that the information in the table below is accurate. Are industry claims of cost savings justified? LED Incandescent Initial cost $4.00 $0.75 Electricity usage 8 watts 60 watts Electricity cost $0.04/kwh $0.04/kwh Lifetime 25,000 hours 1,500 hours
6.73 How much energy could be saved each year by replacing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs? Assume that six 60-watt lamps are lit an average of three hours a night and they are each replaced with 8-watt LED bulbs. (See Problem 6.72.)
The power output of a laser is measured by its wattage, that is, the number of joules of energy it radiates per second (1W=1Js1) . A 10-W laser produces a beam of green light with a wavelength of 520 nm (5.2107m) . (a) Calculate the energy carried by each photon. (b) Calculate the number of photons emitted by the laser per second.
Light of very long wavelength strikes a photosensitive metallic surface and no electrons are ejected. Explain why increasing the intensity of this light on the metal still will not cause the photoelectric effect.
Ozone 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.
Arrange the following three frequencies of light in order of increasing energy per photon: a.100MHzb.10MHzc.100GHz
The infrared spectrum for methanol. CH3OH, is illustrated below. It shows the amount of light in the infrared region that methanol transmits as a function of wavelength. The vertical axis is the amount of light transmitted. At points near the top of the graph, most of the incident light is being transmitted by the sample (or, conversely, little light is absorbed). Therefore, the peaks or bands that descend from the top indicate light absorbed; the longer the band, the more light is being absorbed. The horizontal scale is in units of wavenumbers, abbreviated cm1. The energy of light is given by Plancks law as E = hc/; that is, E is proportional to 1/. Therefore, the horizontal scale is in units of 1/ and reflects the energy of the light incident on the sample. (a) One point on the horizontal axis is marked as 2000 cm1. What is the wavelength of light at this point? (b) Which is the low energy end of this spectrum (left or right), and which is the high energy end? (c) The broad absorption at about 3300-3400 cm1 indicates that infrared radiation is interacting with the OH group of the methanol molecule. The narrower absorptions around 2800-3000 cm1 are for interactions with CH bonds. Which interaction requires more energy, with OH or with CH?

The most prominent line in the spectrum of mercury is at 253.652 nm. Other lines are located at 365.015 nm, 404.656 nm, 435.833 nm, and 101.975 nm. (a) which of these lines represents the most energetic light? (b) what is the frequency of the most prominent line? What is the energy of one photon with this wavelength? (c) Are any of these lines found in the spectrum of mercury shown in figure 6.6? What color or colors are these lines?
