Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The temperature of the corona, by studying the emission lines of ions of certain elements, is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An atom is made up of the nucleus (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged) revolving around the nucleus in the orbits called energy levels or energy states.
If an electron moves from one energy level or energy state to another energy state, it is termed as the transition of electron. Energy is either lost or absorbed during the transition of electron.
The average kinetic energy of the gas is given as
Here, R is gas constant and T is temperature.
The relationship between kilojoules and joules can be expressed as
For conversion of kilojoules to joules, the conversion factor is

- (a) Which color in the visible spectrum has the highest frequency? Which has the lowest frequency? (b) Is the wavelength of the radiation used in a microwave oven (2.45 GHz) longer or shorter than that from your favorite FM radio station (for example, 91.7 MHz)? (c) Are the wavelengths of x-rays longer or shorter than those of ultraviolet light? (d) Calculate the frequency of green light with a wavelength of 510. nm.arrow_forwardA hydrogen-like ion has a nucleus of charge +Ze and a single electron outside this nucleus. The energy levels of these ions are Z2RH/n2 (where Z = atomic number). Calculate the wavelength of the transition from n = 3 to n = 2 for He+, a hydrogen-like ion. In what region of the spectrum does this emission occur?arrow_forwardSpectroscopists have observed He+ in outer space. This ion is a one-electron species like a neutral hydrogen atom. Calculate the energy of the photon emitted for the transition from the n = 5 to the n = 3 state in this ion using the equation: En = − Z2/n2 (2.179 × 10−18 J). Z is the positive charge of the nucleus and n is the principal quantum number. In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this radiation lie?arrow_forward
- An FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 101.3 MHz. What is the wavelength, in meters and nanometers, of this radiation?arrow_forwardIn X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, a material can be analyzed for its constituent elements by radiating the material with short-wavelength X rays, which induce the atoms to emit longer-wavelength X rays characteristic of those atoms. Tungsten, for example, emits characteristic X rays of wavelength 0.1476 nm. If an electron has an equivalent wavelength, what is its kinetic energy?arrow_forwardA hydrogen atom in the ground stale absorbs a photon whose wavelength is 95.0 nm. The resulting excited atom then emits a photon of 1282 nm. What are the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum for the radiations involved in these transitions? What is the principal quantum number of the final state resulting from the emission from the excited atom?arrow_forward
