What happens when an electron absorbs a photon

Physics
1 answer:
nordsb [41]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

A small piece of energy is called as Electron. It cannot be broken down further into smaller pieces. Photon is a basic unit of light. Photons always travel. They are in a continuous motion. So when electron needs energy, They absorb light. The light is absorbed or emitted in the form of photons. Each photon contains energy which is absorbed by the electron to gain its energy. After absorbing the photon, electron moves towards a higher energy level. So when an electron absorbs a photon, energy is gained by the electron.

Can someone help with number 4 please
kondaur [170]
The way I look at these things is like this:

-- The runner covered 12 meters in 4 seconds.
Average speed = 3 meters per second.

-- Speed at the beginning = zero.
In order to make the average 3, Speed at the end = 6 meters per second.

-- Speed increased from zero to 6 meters per second in 4 seconds.
It must have increased 1.5 meters per second each second.

That's choice-#2.

Supposing you were in space..in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion? Explain..
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Yes, a force is require to set an object in motion.

Explanation:

  • In space, even if you feel weightless, you are subject to motion. If you are orbiting the Earth, you are under the constant influence of Earth having a free-fall acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration.
  • To disturb this orbital motion, an external force is required.
  • According to Newton's laws of motion, a force is required to change the state of the rest of a body or to change the velocity or direction if it is moving with uniform velocity along a straight line.
  • Whenever there is a change in velocity or direction of a body there is a force acting on it.

Determine the values of m and n when the following mass of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 5,970,000,000,000,000,00
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Mass of the Earth is equal to,

m=5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg

Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

N=m\times 10^n

m is the real number

n is any integer

Mass of the earth can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

m=5.97\times 10^{24}\ m

Here,

m = 5.97

n = 24

Hence, this is the required solution.
