Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.4QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The factor that determines the line widths for absorption lines and atomic emission also the widths of these lines should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Spectral lines are lines which help in identifying the atoms and molecules. These are a result of absorption or emission of light in a comparatively narrower frequency range compared to the frequencies nearby.

The transition responsible is from the 4s to 3p state. Set up a spreadsheet to calculate the ratio of the numberof excited atoms in the 4s state to the number in the ground 3s state over the temperature range from anacetylene-oxygen flame (3000°C) to the hottest part of an inductively coupled plasma source (8750°C).arrow_forwardShow that the value of the Rydberg constant per photon, 2.179 1018 J, is equivalent to 1312 kJ/mol photons.arrow_forward
- The photoelectric effect is used today to make light-sensitive detectors; when light hits a sample of metal in a sealed compartment, a current of electrons may flow if the light has the proper wavelength. Cesium is a desirable component for such detectors. Why?arrow_forwardThe maximum in the blackbody radiation intensity curve moves to shorter wavelength as temperature increases. The German physicist Wilhelm Wien demonstrated the relation to be max1/T . Later, Planck’s equation showed the maximum to be max=0.20hc/kt . In 1965, scientists researching problems in telecommunication discovered “background radiation” with maximum wavelength 1.05 mm (microwave region of the EM spectrum) throughout space. Estimate the temperature of space.arrow_forwardCalculate the energy of photon having: a a wavelength of 5.42106m; b a frequency of 6.691013s1; c a wavelength of 3.27nm; d a frequency of 106.5MHz 1Hz=1hertz=1s1; this unit is often used for frequency; e a wavenumber of 4321cm1.arrow_forward
