Answer:

B. A single, specific amount of energy is associated with each movement of an electron between energy levels.

Explanation:

As we know by the Bohr's theory that total energy of an electron in a given energy state is given by

E_n = -13.6 \frac{z^2}{n^2}

now here if we will find the change in energy of two states then it is given by

\Delta E = E_2 - E_1

\Delta E = 13.6 z^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2})

now when this specific amount of energy is absorbed by the electron then only it will change the state of energy.

so here correct answer will be

B. A single, specific amount of energy is associated with each movement of an electron between energy levels.

The correct answer is B.

Let us think of the classical theory first. In the classical theory, light is a wave that gives energy. This energy gradually helps the electron jump to a higher energy level.
In quantum theory, this is wrong; an electron cannot absorb a small amout of energy because there is not close enough state to jump to with that energy; only very specific amounts of energy lead to a change in orbital levels/ absorbance of energy. Also, each pair of energy levels has a specific energy difference that is needed from an electron so that it can move.
Hence, B is correct; all other sentences describe classical models of light-electron interactions

A truck on the freeway originally moving at 6.6 meters/second accelerates uniformly with acceleration a = 2.8 meters/second2 for
Sonja [21]

Answer:

139.514 metres

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the truck = 6.6 m/s

Acceleration of the truck = 2.8 m/s^2

Time interval = 7.9 s

Therefore we use the formula,

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

*where s(the distance travelled)...u(the initial velocity)...t(the time period)

; s = 6.6(7.9) + 1/2 (2.8)(7.9)^2

; s = 52.14 + 87.374

The distance moved by the truck = 139.514m
