Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct increasing order of wavelengths for the light is to be determined out of the four given options.
Concept introduction:
Einstein utilizes Planck’s theory to explain the
Higher the
The energy of the electrons is calculated by the expression as follows:
Here,
Wavelength is the separation between two progressive crests or troughs or it is distance between identical points on successive waves.
Frequency is the number of waves passing through a point per second. It is represented by
Amplitude is the separation estimated from the middle of the peak to the top of the crest or bottom of the trough.
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.

- A photoemissive material has a threshold energy, Emin = 5 1019 J. Will 300. nm radiation eject electrons from the material? Explain.arrow_forward(a) Calculate the frequency and the wavelength of the line for the n = 6 to n = 4 transition. (b) Is this wavelength longer or shorter than that of the n = 7 to n = 4 transition?arrow_forwardA particular transition of the rubidium atom emits light whose frequency is 3.84 1014 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
- The L lines for Ca, Zn, Zr, and Sn have wavelengths of 36.3, 11.9,6.07, and 3.60 Å, respectively. Estimate the wavelengths for the L lines for the elements listed in Problem 12-3.arrow_forwardThe most prominent line in the spectrum of neon is found at 865.438 nm. Other lines are located at 837.761 nm, 878.062 nm, 878.375 nm, and 885.387 nm. (a) In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum are these lines found? (b) Are any of these lines found in the spectrum nein shown in Figure 6.6? (c) which of these lines represents the most energetic radiation? (d) What is the frequency of the most prominent line? What is the energy of one photon with this wavelength?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_forward
- The Doppler effect is one of the sources of the line broadening in atomic absorption spectroscopy. Atoms moving toward the light source encounter higher-frequency radiation than atoms moving away from the source. The difference in wavelength experienced by an atom moving at speed v (compared to one atrest) is / = v/c , where c is the velocity of light. Estimate the line width (in nanometers) of the lithiumline at 670.776(6707.76 Å) when the absorbing atoms are at a temperature of (a) 2000 K and (b) 3120 K.The average speed of an atom is given by v=8kT/m , where k is Boltzmann’s constant, Tis the absolute temperature, and m is its mass.arrow_forwardThe figure below represents part of the emission spectrum for a one-electron ion in lhe gas phase. All the lines result from electronic transitions from excited states to the n = 3 state. (See Exercise 160.) a. What electronic transitions correspond to lines A and B? b. If the wavelength of line B is 142.5 nm, calculate the wavelength of line A.arrow_forward
