Why do atoms absorb and reemit radiation at characteristic frequencies?

Physics
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
7 0

To answer this question it is necessary to use the Bohr Model as a theoretical reference. According to this model, the energy levels of an atom are divided by discrete and characteristic energies. When there is the emission or absorption of a photon with a characteristic energy there is a transition of another energy level, which is equal to the level of atomic energy. Since the energy of a photo is directly proportional to its frequency, the emitted or absorbed photons have characteristic frequencies to the difference in energy between atomic energy levels.

How are mass and weight different? how does gravity affect mass and weight
m_a_m_a [10]
Mass is the amount of matter in an object whereas weight is the force of gravity acting on the mass of an object. Different planets exert a different force of gravity on an object-meaning that an object's weight will change depending on the force of gravity acting on it, but it's mad will remain unchanged.

Difference between freefall and weightlessness.​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

<h3><u>Freefall</u></h3>
  • When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
  • Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
  • A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

<h3><u>Weightlessness</u></h3>
  • Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
  • Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
  • A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

klio [65]
Your teacher is right. The moon can be seen early in the morning sometimes and late at night. Different phases are only visible on certain days as one day might be full quarter, the next full moon, the next first quarter, etc.
