Suppose that at a certain altitude in the atmosphere of a star there are 6.1 * 1013/cm3 of these atoms in the higher-energy state and 2.5 * 1015/cm3 in the lower-energy state. What is the temperature of the star’s atmosphere at that altitude?

- The emergence of line spectra from a gas when a current passes through it was an observed phenomenon waiting for an explanation in the early 20th century. The atomic line spectra coming from elements such as hydrogen had been analyzed since the late 19th century. By studying the wavelength of the emerging radiation of hydrogen, experimenters found (often by trial and error) that the wavelengths in those spectra were described by the formula 1 = R ( 1/2 - 1/2 ) where R is known as the Rydberg constant. It has a value of R=1.097 × 107 m-¹. The variables n₁ and no are integer numbers (n₁ = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...). As experiments continued, scientists began to see more and more characteristic lines emerging from the hydrogen spectrum. Each of them corresponded to a wavelength predicted by this formula with some integer values for m₁ and ₂. In 1913, Niels Bohr provided an explanation for the observations made in experiments by proposing that each electron in an atom had only certain allowable…arrow_forwarda) An electron in a hydrogen atom has energy E= -3.40 eV, where the zero of energy is at the ionization threshold.

This model is reasonably accurate for hydrogen and for singly ionized helium.

Which of the following correctly describes the wavelengths of these two photons in terms of the energy level diagrams for hydrogen and helium? The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a longer wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.

- A hypothetical atom has two energy levels, with a transition wavelength between them of 580 nm. In a particular sample at 300 K, 4.0 * 10^20 such atoms are in the state of lower energy. (a) How many atoms are in the upper state, assuming conditions of thermal equilibrium? (b) Suppose, instead, that 3.0*10^20 of these atoms are “pumped” into the upper state by an external process, with 1.0 * 10^20 atoms remaining in the lower state. What is the maxi-mum energy that could be released by the atoms in a single laser pulse if each atom jumps once between those two states (either via absorption or via stimulated emission)?arrow_forwardThe light observed that is emitted by a hydrogen atom is explained by a simple model of its structure with one proton in its nucleus and an electron bound to it, but only with internal energies of the atom satisfying EH=−RH/n2EH=−RH/n2 where RHRH is the Rydberg constant and nn is an integer such as 1, 2, 3 ... and so on. When a hydrogen atom in an excited state emits light, the photon carries away energy and the atom goes into a lower energy state. Be careful about units. The Rydberg constant in eV is 13.605693009 eV That would be multiplied by the charge on the electron 1.602× 10-19 C to give 2.18× 10-18 J A photon with this energy would have a frequency f such that E=hf. Its wavelength would be λ = c/f = hc/E. Sometimes it is handy to measure the Rydberg constant in units of 1/length for this reason.
