Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The frequency and energy per photon of UV-C radiation associated with given wavelength has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Frequency: It is the number of complete waves passing through a point in a given period of time. The unit is
Wavelength: The distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a wave is called wavelength. The symbol of wavelength is
The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by,
From the above relation, it is clear that frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.
The energy of light is given by,

- Sunburn is caused by ultraviolet UV radiation. Why does red light not cause sunburn?arrow_forwardIn the ground state of element 115, Uup, a. how many electrons have n = 5 as one of their quantum numbers? b. how many electrons have l = 3 as one of their quantum numbers? c. how many electrons have ml = 1 as one of their quantum numbers? d. how many electrons have ms = 12 as one of their quantum numbers?arrow_forward6.103 Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on the atomic spectra of the elements being studied. It can be used to determine the impurities in a metal sample. If an element is present, light at the appropriate wavelength is absorbed. You are working with a metal stamping company and the rolled steel you use to form panels for automobile doors is failing at an alarming rate. There is some chance that the problem is unacceptably high levels of manganese in the steel. Given that the atomic spectrum of manganese has three lines near 403 nm, how could you use a spectrometer to determine the amount of manganese in the steel?arrow_forward
