Photons of infrared radiation are responsible for much of the warmth we feel when holding our hands before a fire. These photons will also warm other objects. How many infrared photons with a wavelength of 1.5106 m must be absorbed by the water to warm a cup of water (175 g) from 25.0 C to 40 C?
Cesium was discovered in natural mineral waters in 1860 by R. W. Bunsen and G. R. Kirchhoff, using the spectroscope they invented in 1859. The name came from the Latin caesius ("sky blue") because of the prominent blue line observed for this element at 455.5 nm. Calculate the frequency and energy of a photon of this light.
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?
Traffic signals are often now made of LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Amber and green ones are pictured here.

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?
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.
