Question

A material kept at high temperature is seen to emit photons with energies of 0.3 eV, 0.5 eV, 0.8 eV, 2.0 eV, 2.5 eV, and 2.8 eV. These are the only photon energies observed. It is now cooled down to a very low temperature so that it is not emitting photons anymore. If a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from 0.01 eV to 10 eV shines on the material, what photon energies in this beam will correspond to dark absorption lines?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.3 eV, 0.5eV,, 8 eV, 2.0eV, 2.50 eV, 2.8 eV

Explanation:

In a given material the emission and absorption spectra are equivalent, for which the emission spectrum observed at high temperature for the material corresponds to the transition between the energy states of the material, the process is that the electrons exist from the ground state until an excited state and after a short period of time or these electrons relax emitting photons.

In the absorption process, the material is at low temperature, ideally at A = 0K, whereby all states are in the ground state and all excited states are empty. therefore it can absorb the beam energy for each transition given from the ground state to each excited edtado.

Consequently, the lines above the absorption oscillate lines coincide with the lines of emotion, this we see lines oscillate at 0.3 eV, 0.5eV,, 8 eV, 2.0eV, 2.50 eV, 2.8 eV
