Explanation Given info: The human eye sensitive wavelengths are between 400 nm to 700 nm and the value of hc is 1240 eV ⋅ nm . Write the formula to calculate the minimum energy. E min = h c λ min E min is the minimum energy λ min is the shortest wavelength sensitive to human eye Substitute 400 nm for λ min and 1240 eV ⋅ nm for hc in the above equation to calculate E min . E min = 1240 eV ⋅ nm 400 nm = 3.1 eV Write the formula to calculate the maximum energy

Atomic Spectra

According to the Bohr model of an atom, the electron in an atom moves around a nucleus in fixed orbits with specific energies known as energy levels. The orbital energies are quantized. The electrons remain in these energy levels until they emit or absor…

Ruby Lasers

Lasers are devices that emit light using atoms or molecules at a certain wavelength and amplify the light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. It works as per the principle of electromagnetic radiation. Their source of emission contains the same freque…

Balmer Series

The spectrum of frequency observed when electromagnetic radiation is emitted from an atom when it goes from higher energy state to lower state, is known as emission spectrum. This transition occurs when an excited electron moves from higher to lower stat…

Emission Spectrum

Every state of matter tries to be at minimum potential energy or it can be said that the atoms of element/ substance arrange themselves such that overall energy is minimum.
