State whether it is true that “the A spectrum is AM0 and the B spectrum is AM1.5”. Explain why B is weaker than A across the whole wavelength range. Show how you estimate the surface temperature of the Sun using the given spectrum.
Describe how the hydrogen atom might absorb a photon of energy less than 13.6 eV. Describe a process by which a 9.8-eV photon might be absorbed. What about a 15.2-eV photon?
Consider the Bohr model of the atom. Suppose an electron in a hydrogen atom transitions from the n=3 level to the n=5 level.
1) CALCULATE the energy (ΔE) for this transition.
2) Does this transition involve the absorption or emission of a photon of light? How do you know?
