The existence of quantized energy levels in an atom can be inferred from

1 answer:

3 0

This concept is inferred from quantum mechanics. According to quantum mechanics, electrons can absorb or emit energy by a discrete amount of energy called quanta. This follows from the two contradicting theory of wave-particle theory of light. It was widely accepted already that light behaves like a wave. However, questions are still unanswered on why electromagnetic waves emit or absorb light in specific frequencies. Until Planck proposed his equation: E = hν, where E is the energy, h is called the Planck's constant and ν is the frequency.

In this equation, it signifies that increase energy is progressing at discrete amounts of frequencies and this constant is denoted by h.

Answer:

(b) EAST

Explanation:

you can assume that the magnetic field points rightward, that is, in the positive x direction (NORTH). Furthermore, you can assume that the direction of the motion of the electron is in the positive y direction. Hence, you have:

$\vec{B}=B_o\hat{i}\\\\\vec{v}=v_o\hat{j}$
