Interpretation:
The energy needed to remove an electron from
Concept introduction:
When an electron jumps from one energy state to another energy state, it is termed as transition of electron. Energy is either lost or absorbed during the transition of electron. The transition energy
Here,
The wavelength of a photon during a transition from one state to another can be expressed as follows:
Here,

- This laser emits green light with a wavelength of 533 nm. (a) What is the energy, in joules, of one photon of light at this wavelength? (b) If a particular laser produces 1.00 watt (W) of power (1 W = 1 J/s), how many photons are produced each second by the laser?arrow_forwardA bright violet line occurs at 435.8 nm in the emission spectrum of mercury vapor. What amount of energy, in joules, must be released by an electron in a mercury atom to produce a photon of this light?arrow_forwardA baseball weighs 142 g. A professional pitcher throws a fast ball at a speed of 100 mph and a curve ball at 80 mph. What wavelengths are associated with the motions of the baseball? If the uncertainty in the position of the ball is 12 wavelength, which ball (fast ball or curve) has a more precisely known position? Can the uncertainty in the position of a curve ball be used to explain why batters frequently miss it?arrow_forward
