In a hypothetical atom, electron N transitions between energy levels, giving off orange light in the transition. In the same ato

m, electron P gives off violet light when it transitions between energy levels. Did electron N or electron P have a transition that covered a greater energy difference? The electromagnetic spectrum has been provided to assist you in answering the question, and you should reference info from the spectrum in your answer. Be clear and fully explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer : Electron P has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

Explanation :  

Wavelength range of violet light = 400 - 500 nm

Wavelength range of orange light = 600 - 700 nm

The Planck's equation is,

E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of light

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

According to the Planck's equation, wavelength and energy follow inverse relation. As the wavelength increases, energy decreases.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of violet light is less. We conclude that When electron P gives violet light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was high.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of orange light is more. We conclude that When electron N  gives orange light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was low.

So, Electron P which gives violet light on transition has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Yes, electron N or electron P have a transition that covered a greater energy difference.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • N electron giving orange light means light wave of 650 to 700 nm wavelength according to electromagnetic spectrum.
  • P electron giving Violet light means light wave with a wavelength of 400 nm.
  • As wave length and energy of a wave is inversely proportional to each other.
  • It means N electron light with long wavelength has low energy.
  • P electron light with short wave length has high energy.
  • Hence both electrons have transitions of great energy difference.

What is missing from the temperature and volume graph shown at right?
Kaylis [27]

Answer: Three things are missing:


i) Graph title.


ii) Label for the vertical axis.


iii) The scale and the units for the horizontal axis.


Justification:


1) Find the graph in the image attached.


2) What does the graph represent? You cannot tell because it does not show the tittle.


Since you are told in the statement that it is a temperature and volume graph, the appropiate title would be:


Temperature vs. Volume.


3) The vertical axis also must be properly labeled, including the units.


A good label for the vertical axis of this graph might be: Volume (cm³). It migh also be liters, gallons, or other volume unit.


4) Although the horizontal axis is labeled, it does not indicate the units and the scale. So, you know neither if the temperature shown is celsius, (°C), farenheti (°F), kelvin (K), or rankine (R) (those are the four major scales of temperature), nor how much each division represent (1, 5, 10, 10, 50, 100?)
