How many photons are contained in a 16.1 kJ burst of this radiation?arrow_forwardWhat is the Doppler-shifted wavelength of a red (680 nm) traffic light approached at 60 km h−1?arrow_forward
- Express 4000 Åh = 6.626 x 10-34 J s c = 2.998 x 108 m s-1a. In nanometers:b. As a wavenumber (cm-1):c. As an energy in joules:arrow_forwardDescribe how the attenuation of X-rays correlate with i) their photon energy, ii) the chemical make-up of the transmission material, and iii) the distance they have travelled through the material.arrow_forwardA space probe was designed to see 13CO in the atmosphere of Saturn by looking for lines in its rotational spectrum. If the bond length of CO is 112.8 pm, at what wave number do the first three rotational transitions appear?arrow_forward
- Why is 800nm used for the wavelength when measuring the absorbance of the blue copper II sulfate solution?arrow_forwardIn an X-ray photoelectron experiment. a photon of wavelength 100 pm ejects an electron from the inner shell of an atom and it emerges with a speed of 2.34 x 104 km s-1. Calculate the binding energy of the electron.arrow_forwardIn a photochemical experiment it is observed that 5.78×10-5 mol of uranyl oxalate is decomposed at a wavelength of 300 nm emitted by a lamp in one hour. When acetone was irradiated with the same lamp for 10 hours, the amount of acetone decomposed was found to be 2.32× 10-4 mol. What is quantumyield for the acetone decomposition under the same condition?arrow_forward
- Calculate the wavelength in hydrogen spectrum for the emission that results from the transition n = 3 to n = 2. The Rydberg constant for hydrogen, RH, is 1.09737 x 107 m-1.arrow_forward1.) A local FM radio station broadcasts at an energy of 6.04×10-29 kJ/photon. Calculate the frequency at which it is broadcasting.Frequency = __________ MHz (1 MHz = 106 sec -1) 2.)A local FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 96.0 MHz.Calculate the energy of the frequency at which it is broadcasting.Energy =__________ kJ/photon(1 MHz = 106 sec -1)arrow_forwardIf a sample is placed in a magnetic field of applied field strength = 1.1 Tesla, the spin-up and spin-down 1H nuclei show an energy difference that corresponds to a photon with frequency = 60 MHz. If this same sample is moved into the vicinity of a magnetic field of strength = 5.5 Tesla, what will be the frequency of a photon that could match the energy difference of the spin-up and spin-down states?arrow_forward
