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

Comet is seen after a long period of time. Why?​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Long-period comets have orbital periods longer than 200 years. ... Since it is the sublimation of these volatiles from the nucleus of the comet as it nears the Sun that gives rise to the coma and highly-visible tails, long-period comets have more material with which to put on a show.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We Often solve the the integral neutron transport equation using the collision probability (CP) method which usually requires flat flux (FF) approach. In this research, it has been carried out in the cylindrical nuclear fuel cell with the spatial of mesh with quadratic flux approach. This simply means that the neutron flux at any region of the nuclear fuel cell is forced to follow the pattern of a quadratic function.

Furthermore The mechanism may be referred to as the process of non-flat flux (NFF) approach. The parameters that calculated in this study are the k-eff and the distribution of neutron flux. The result shows that all parameters are in accordance with the result of SRAC.
