(a)
Interpretation:
The highest energy
Concept introduction:
Electromagnetic radiation: It is characterized as a wave is a by either its frequency
IR frequency (cm-1): It is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point in one second frequency has units of hertz
Wavelength: I t identified the distance from any point on one wave to the corresponding point on the next wave, or its wavelength is generally measured in nanometers

- In high-temperature sources, sodium atoms emit a doublet with an average wavelength of 1139 nm. 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_forwardCalculate the energy per mole of photons for the laser used in Blu-ray players ( = 405 nm)arrow_forwardWhen rubidium ions are heated to a high temperature, two lines are observed in its line spectrum at wavelengths (a) 7.9107 m and (b) 402107 m. What are the frequencies of the two lines? What color do we see when we heat a rubidium compound?arrow_forward

(c) Which transitions involve the ground state? (d) Which transition absorbs the most energy? (e) Which transition emits the most energy?arrow_forwardMost retinal tears and detachments are treated by photocoagulation with a laser. A commonly used laser is one with a wavelength of 514 nm. Calculate (a) the frequency. (b) the energy in joules/photon. (c) the energy in kJ/mol.arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
- The distant galaxy called Cygnus A is one of the strongest sources of radio waves reaching Earth. The distance of this galaxy from Earth is 31024m . How long (in years) does it take a radio wave of wavelength 10 m to reach Earth? What is the frequency of this radio wave?arrow_forwardA carbon dioxide laser produces radiation of wavelength 10.6 micrometers (1micrometer=106meter). laser produces about one joule of energy per pulse, how many photons are produced per pulse?
