- When the Sojourner spacecraft landed on Mars in 1997, the planet was approximately 7.8 107 km from Earth. How long did it take for the television picture signal to reach Earth from Mars?arrow_forwardA photoemissive material has a threshold energy, Emin = 5 1019 J. Will 300. nm radiation eject electrons from the material? Explain.arrow_forward6.86 An excited He+ ion returns to the ground state by emitting a series of three photons, with wavelengths of 26 nm, 469 nm, and 1014 nm. The process is represented in the energy level diagram below. Which arrow (A, B, or C) in the diagram represents the 1014-nm light?arrow_forward
