- Consider only the transitions involving the first four energy levels for a hydrogen atom: a. How many emissions are possible for an electron in the n = 4 level as it goes to the ground state? b. Which electronic transition is the lowest energy? c. Which electronic transition corresponds to the shortest wavelength emission?arrow_forwardPhotogray lenses incorporate small amounts of silver chloride in the glass of the lens. When light hits the AgCl particles, me following reaction occurs: AgClhvAg+Cl The silver metal that is formed causes the lenses to darken. The energy change for this reaction is 3.10 102 kJ/mol. Assuming all this energy must be supplied by light, what is the maximum wavelength of light that can cause this reaction?arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forward
