- Arrange the kinds of light listed below in order of increasing wavelength: Red visible light, blue visible light, infrared light, and X-rays X-ray blue visible red visible infrared infrared red visible blue visible X-ray blue visible red visible X-ray infraredarrow_forwardOzone in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light of wavelengths shorter than 320 nm, thus filtering out the most energetic radiation from sunlight. During this absorption, an ozone molecule absorbs a photon, which breaks an oxygen-oxygen bond, yielding an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom: O3(g)+hvO2(g)+O(g) (Here, hv denotes a photon.) Suppose a flask of ozone is irradiated with a pulse of UV light of wavelength 275 nm. Assuming that each photon of this pulse that is absorbed breaks up one ozone molecule, calculate the energy absorbed per mole of O2 produced, giving the answer in kJ/mol.arrow_forward(a) Which color in the visible spectrum has the highest frequency? Which has the lowest frequency? (b) Is the wavelength of the radiation used in a microwave oven (2.45 GHz) longer or shorter than that from your favorite FM radio station (for example, 91.7 MHz)? (c) Are the wavelengths of x-rays longer or shorter than those of ultraviolet light? (d) Calculate the frequency of green light with a wavelength of 510. nm.arrow_forward
- RGB color television and computer displays use cathode ray tubes that produce colors by mixing red, green, and blue light. If we look at the screen with a magnifying glass, we can see individual dots turn on and off as the colors change. Using a spectrum of visible light, determine the approximate wavelength of each of these colors. What is the frequency and energy of a photon of each of these colors?arrow_forwardFour types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) are ultraviolet, microwaves, gamma rays, and visible. All of these types of EMR can be characterized by wavelength, frequency, photon energy, and speed of travel. Define these terms and rank the four types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength, frequency, photon energy, and speed.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
- Warm objects emit electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region. Heat lamps employ this principle to generate infrared radiation. Water absorbs infrared radiation with wavelengths near 2.80 m. Suppose this radiation is absorbed by the water and converted to heat. A 1.00-L sample of water absorbs infrared radiation, and its temperature increases from 20.0C to 30.0C. How many photons of this radiation are used to heat the water?arrow_forwardWhen a tube containing hydrogen atoms is energized by passing several thousand volts of electricity into the tube, the hydrogen emits light than when passed through a prism, resolves into the "bright line" spectrum shown in Fig. 11.10. Why do hydrogen atoms emit bright lines of specific wavelengths rather than a continuous spectrum?arrow_forwardGiven the following energy level diagram for an atom that contains an electron in the n = 3 level, answer the following questions. a Which transition of the electron will emit light of the lowest frequency? b Using only those levels depicted in the diagram, which transition of the electron would require the highest-frequency light? c If the transition from the n = 3 level to the n = 1 level emits green light, what color light is absorbed when an electron makes the transition from the n = 1 to n = 3 level?arrow_forward
