- The second is defined as the time it takes for 9,192,631,770 wavelengths of a certain transition of the cesium-133 atom to pass a fixed point. What is the frequency of this electromagnetic radiation? What is the wavelength?arrow_forwardA photoemissive material has a threshold energy, Emin = 5 1019 J. Will 300. nm radiation eject electrons from the material? Explain.arrow_forwardGive the possible values of a. the principal quantum number, b. the angular momentum quantum number, c. the magnetic quantum number, and d. the spin quantum number.arrow_forward
- 6.86 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_forward6.85 The visible lines in the hydrogen atom emission spectrum arise from transitions with a final state with n = 2. In what spectral region should we expect to find transitions that have a final state of n = 1 ? Explain your reasoning using an energy level diagram similar to the one in Problem 6.26.arrow_forwardThe wave function for the 2pz, orbital in the hydrogen atom is 2pl=142(za0)3/2e/2cos where a0 is the value for the radius of the first Bohr orbit in meters (5.29 | 1011), is Z(r/a0), r is the value for the distance from the nucleus in meters, and is an angle. Calculate the value of 2pz2 at r = a0 for = 0 (z axis) and for = 90 (xy plane).arrow_forward
- Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope used in medicine for the treatment of certain cancers. It produces particles and rays, the latter having energies of 1.173 and 1.332 MeV. (1 MeV = 106 electron-volts and 1 eV = 1.6022 1019 J.) What are the wave-length and frequency of a -ray photon with an energy of 1.173 MeV?arrow_forwardThe table below is partially completed for subshells A and B, where subshell B is the next subshell higher in energy compared to subshell A. For example, if subshell A is the 4s subshell, then subshell B would be the 3d subshell. Use this criteria and the information provided to complete the table.arrow_forwardSelenium atoms have a particular transition that emits light of frequency 1.53 1015 Hz. (Hz is the abbreviation for hertz, which is equivalent to the unit/s, or s1.) Is this light in the visible spectrum? If so, what is the color of the light? (See Figure 7.5.)arrow_forward
