A monochromatic beam of light is absorbed by a collection of ground-state hydrogen atoms in such a way that three different wave

lengths are observed when the hydrogen relaxes back to the ground state.
Physics

astra-53 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

If the absorbed beam is monochromatic (one wavelength) then it excites the H atom to some state n.

When that state decays, some of the atoms may decay to state 1, others to state 2, and still others to state 3

The net energy emitted in such a case would depend on:

n -1, n - 2, n - 3 which would produce 3 different wavelengths

A sound is recorded at 19 decibels. What is the intensity of the sound?
sp2606 [1]

1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} is the intensity of the sound.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The range of sound intensity that people can recognize is so large (including 13 magnitude levels). The intensity of the weakest audible noise is called the hearing threshold. (intensity about 1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}). Because it is difficult to imagine numbers in such a large range, it is advisable to use a scale from 0 to 100.

This is the goal of the decibel scale (dB).  Because logarithm has the property of recording a large number and returning a small number, the dB scale is based on a logarithmic scale. The scale is defined so that the hearing threshold has intensity level of sound as 0.

                     \text { Intensity }(d B)=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{0}}\right)

Where,

I = Intensity of the sound produced

I_{0} = Standard Intensity of sound of 60 decibels = 1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}

So for 19 decibels, determine I as follows,

                   19 d B=(10 d B) \times \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)

                  \log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=\frac{19}{10}

                  \log _{10}\left(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}}\right)=1.9

When log goes to other side, express in 10 to the power of that side value,

                  \left(\frac{I}{1 \times 10^{-12} W m^{-2}}\right)=10^{1.9}

                  I=1 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2} \times 10^{1.9}=1 \times 10^{-12-1.9}=1 \times 10^{-10.1} \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}

Real-world examples of power
Paha777 [63]
By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.

an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)
