An atom in its ground state is excited when it absorbs a single photon of light. The atom then relaxes back to the ground state

by emitting two photons, the first, a red photon at 700 nm, and the second, an infrared photon at 1750 nm. What is the wavelength of the absorbed photon? 500 nm 1225 nm 700 nm 1950 nm 1750 nm

Answer: Option (a)  is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         wavelength of red photon (\lambda_{1}) = 700 nm

         wavelength of infrared photon (\lambda_{2}) = 1750 nm

Therefore, calculate the wavelength of absorbed photon as follows.

    \frac{1}{\lambda_{abs}} = \frac{1}{\lambda_{1}} + \frac{1}{\lambda_{2}}

              = \frac{1}{700} + \frac{1}{1750}

              = \frac{2450}{1225000}

or,            \lambda_{abs} = \frac{1225000}{2450}              

                            = 500 nm

Therefore, we can conclude that the wavelength of the absorbed photon is 500 nm.

Answer:

500 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of red photon=\lambda_1=700nm

Wavelength of Infrared photon=\lambda_2=1750nm

We have to find the length of absorbed photon.

We know that

Energy of photon=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where \lambda=Wavelength of photon

Energy of absorbed photon=Sum of energy of emitting two photons.

\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{hc}{\lambda_1}+\frac{hc}{\lambda_2}

\frac{hc}{\lambda}=hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_1}+\frac{1}{\lambda_2})

\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{\lambda_1}+\frac{1}{\lambda_2}

Substitute the values then we get

\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{700}+\frac{1}{1750}=\frac{1750+700}{1225000}=\frac{2450}{1225000}

\lambda=\frac{1225000}{2450}=500

Hence, the wavelength of absorbed photon=500 nm

Option A is true.

The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77 kelvin. It is observed that ice forms at the opening of a container of liquid nitroge
icang [17]

Answer:

The answer is "The First choice".

Explanation:

The whole question can be found in the file attached.

The water vapor inside the air freezes thru the entrance of its nitrogen. This is because liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature and seems to be sufficiently cold to condensed and freeze the steam of water. At air pressure, it has a boiling temperature of -196°C. Freezing the skin producing freeze or cold burns can be associated with direct contact.

Convert 90.23 kPa into atm
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.89 atm </h2>

Explanation:

To convert from kPa to atm we use the conversion

101.325 kPa = 1 atm

If

101.325 kPa = 1 atm

Then

90.23 kPa will be

\frac{90.23}{101.325}  \\  =0.89050086...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.89 atm</h3>

Hope this helps you
