- The rate at which solar wind particles enter the atmosphere is higher during the day than at night, yet the intensity of the auroral emissions remains high well after the Sun has set. Can you suggest a means by which the atmospheric molecules might be able to radiate long after the period of collisions with charged particles has ended? (Hint: How long does it take a typical atom to radiate from a normal allowed energy state? How could this time be lengthened?)arrow_forwardIf a photon has energy of 4.3 eV, calculate its' wavelength.

MY NOTES PRACTICE ANOTHER (a) An electron and a 0.0320 kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 480 m/s, accurate to within 0.0100%. Within what lower limit could we determine the position of each object along the direction of the velocity? (Give the lower limit for the electron in mm and that for the bulet in m.) 1205 343e 12 for the eiectron V mm for the bullet (b) What I7 Within what lower limit could we determine the position of each tbject along the direction of the velocity it the electron and the bulet were both relativistic, traveling at 0.300e measured with the same accuracy? (Give the lower limit for the electron in nm and that for the bullet in m.) for the electron Again, you will need to use the uncertainty principle, but note now the velooty is high compared to the speed of fight. So, you will need to use the relativistic definition of momentum. To find the uncertainty in velocity, treat the momentum and velocity…arrow_forward
