- I am struggling with getting this question done and need some help solving it, explain and make sure the answer is 100% correct. When a fast electron (i.e., one moving at a relativistic speed) passes by a heavy atom, it interacts with the atom's electric field. As a result, the electron's kinetic energy is reduced; the electron slows down. In the meantime, a photon of light is emitted. The kinetic energy lost by the electron equals the energy Eγ�� of a photon of radiated light: Eγ=K−K′��=�−�′, where K� and K′�′ are the kinetic energies of the electron before and after radiation, respectively. This kind of radiation is called bremsstrahlung radiation, which in German means "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation."

- How does the orbital energy of a hydrogen-like atom change as it increases in atomic number? The orbital energy will increase. The orbital energy will decrease. The orbital energy will remain constant. The orbital energy will be halved. Why would it most likely be difficult to observe quantized orbital states for satellites orbiting the earth? On a macroscopic level, the orbital states do exist for satellites orbiting Earth but are too closely spaced for us to see. On a macroscopic level, the orbital states do not exist for satellites orbiting Earth. On a macroscopic level, we cannot control the amount of energy that we give to an artificial satellite and thus control its orbital altitude.
