Interpretation:
The number of photons of light that are emitted during the transition of
Concept introduction:
A photon is a form of subatomic particle that is not made up of any other particle. When the transition of an electron occurs from a higher level to a lower level of energy, a single photon is emitted for each dropping electron.

- A photoemissive material has a threshold energy, Emin = 5 1019 J. Will 300. nm radiation eject electrons from the material? Explain.arrow_forward6.86 An excited He+ ion returns to the ground state by emitting a series of three photons, with wavelengths of 26 nm, 469 nm, and 1014 nm. The process is represented in the energy level diagram below. Which arrow (A, B, or C) in the diagram represents the 1014-nm light?arrow_forwardThe energy of a photon is 3.05 1019 J. What is the wavelength of the corresponding light? What is the color of this light?arrow_forward
- When the Sojourner spacecraft landed on Mars in 1997, the planet was approximately 7.8 107 km from Earth. How long did it take for the television picture signal to reach Earth from Mars?arrow_forward6.17 The laser in most supermarket barcode scanners operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. What is the energy of a single photon emitted by such a laser? What is the energy of one mole of these photons?arrow_forward
