Elements in the gaseous state emit line spectra with well- defined wavelengths. But hot solid objects always emit a continuous spectrum—that is, a continuous smear of wavelengths. Can you account for this difference?

- Silver bromide (AgBr) is a light-sensitive substance used in some types of photographic film. To cause exposure of the film, it must be illuminated with light having sufficient energy to break apart the molecules. Why do you suppose this film may be handled without exposure in a darkroom illuminated with red light? How about blue light? How about very bright red light relative to very dim blue light?arrow_forwardThe red lasers used to read the barcodes of products at the grocery stores produce light with a wavelength of 633 nm. The electrical power consumption of a single grocery store laser is 5.00000 × 10-3 J s-1. If the grid is burning CH4 gas (methane) to produce electricity, how many moles of CH4 must be burned to produce enough energy to run the grocery store laser for 365 days? The heat of combustion of methane is -890 kJ/mol. Assume the combustion energy is converted to electricity with 100% efficiency. (Hint, you will need to find the total amount of energy the laser emits as light, assuming the laser works with 100% effeciency i.e. all the electrical energy is converted to 633 nm light) Final answer should be in molarrow_forwardI need the answer as soon as possiblearrow_forward
