The energy levels of a quantum harmonic oscillator are given by En = n + 1 2 ¯h ω where 2π ¯h = h and h is Planck’s Constant. Th

e energy of a quantum of electromagnetic radiation (a photon) is Eλ = h c λ where λ is the wavelength of the radiation and c is the speed of light. If a harmonic oscillator transitions down one energy level, what is the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation emitted?

Answer:

2πc/w

Explanation:

To find the wavelength you take into account the difference in energy of two adjacent states n+1 and n:

E_{n+1,n}=\hbar \omega((n+1)+\frac{1}{2})+\hbar \omega(n+\frac{1}{2})\\\\E_{n+1,n}=\hbar \omega(1)

hbar = h/2π

this energy is also the energy of an emitted photon in the transition, that is:

E_{\lambda}=h\frac{c}{\lambda}   (2)

you equal the equations (1) and (2) and compute the wavelength:

E_{\lambda}=E_{n+1,n}\\\\h\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{h}{2\pi}\omega\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi c}{\omega}

hence, the wavelength of the emitted photon is 2πc/w

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

  • quantity of charge transferred, Q=31\ C

<u>No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:</u>

As we have charge on one electron 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C

so,

n_e=\frac{Q}{e}

n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

  • Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require n=1.935\times 10^{20} molecules.

<u>Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:</u>

n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}

where

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} Avogadro No.

n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}

n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles

  • We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

<u>So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:</u>

n_m=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass in gram

3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

Who performed classic experiments that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Meselson and Stahl

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

The classic experiment that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication was performed by Matthew Meselson and Franklin W. Stahl. In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand. They used E. coli bacteria as a model system.
