Light in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum excites vibrations of certain molecules, causing them to move more rapidly. In this manner, infrared light can be used to heat a substance. If a 1000.-mW, 808-nm laser is used to heat a 50.0-mL sample of water from 22.0 o C to its boiling point, a) how many photons will the water absorb and b) what is the minimum amount of time this will take?
An electron in a hydrogen atom travels from energy level n = 2 to energy level n = 3. Would the electron be absorbing or emitting this energy in this transition? What is the change in energy (ΔE) for this transition? Show all work, including units and signs, and give your answer for ΔE to three significant figures.
Your calibrated soup container has served you pretty well over the last several weeks, so you have decided to use it to heat up your soup for lunch using the microwave oven located just outside your lab. The oven warms food by delivering electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.45 GHz at a rate of 7.39 x 10^26 photons per second. Your soup has a mass of 524 grams and your calibrated container has a heat capacity of 69.9 J °C-1. If the initial temperature of your soup is 25 °C, what will be its temperature if you allow it to heat in the microwave for 1.5 minutes? [Assume that the specific heat capacity of your soup is 4.18 J g-1 °C-1.]
