Suppose an atom in an excited state can return to the ground state in two steps. It first falls to an intermediate state, emitting radiation of wavelength 1 , and then to the ground state, emitting radiation of wavelength 2 . The same atom can also return to the ground state in one step, with the emission of radiation of wavelength . How are 1,2, and related? How are the frequencies of the three radiations related?

As the weapons officer aboard the Srarship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is 7.52 1019 J. a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c. If the hull of the enemy vessel is made of the element with an electron configura tion of [Ar]4s13d10, what metal is this?

(b) The wavelength of the radiation emitted when the outermost electron of aluminum falls from the 4s state to the ground state is about 395 nm. Calculate the energy separation (in joules) between these two states in the Al atom. (c) When the outermost electron in aluminum falls from the 3d state to the ground state, the radiation emitted has a wavelength of about 310 nm. Draw an energylevel diagram of the states and transitions discussed here and in (b). Calculate the separation (in joules) between the 3d and 4s states in aluminum.

One type of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 107.1 MHz, another type has a wavelength of 2.12 1010 m, and another type of electromagnetic radiation has photons with energy equal to 3.97 1019 J/pboton. Identify each type of electromagnetic radiation and place them in order of increasing photon energy and increasing frequency.
In the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected from a metal surface when light strikes it. A certain minimum energy, Emin, is required to eject an electron. Any energy absorbed beyond that minimum gives kinetic energy to the electron. It is found that when light at a wavelength of 540 nm falls on a cesium surface, an electron is ejected with a kinetic energy of 2.601020J. When the wavelength is 400 nm, the kinetic energy is 1.541019J. (a) Calculate Emin for cesium in joules. (b) Calculate the longest wavelength, in nanometers, that will eject electrons from cesium.
