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.

A shovel is the third class lever​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In a third-class lever, the effort force lies between the resistance force and the fulcrum. Some kinds of garden tools are examples of third-class levers. When you use a shovel, for example, you hold one end steady to act as the fulcrum, and you use your other hand to pull up on a load of dirt.

Two people push on a boulder to try to move it. The mass of the boulder is 825 kg. One person pushes north with a force of 64 N.
stira [4]

Answer:

0.09 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

From the question, expression for acceleration is given as

F' = ma  

Using Pythagoras Theory,

√(F₁²+F₂²) = ma................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Force of the First person on the boulder, F₂ = Force of the Second person on the boulder, F' = resultant force acting on the boulder, m = mass of the boulder, a = acceleration of the boulder.

make a the subject of the equation

a = √(F₁²+F₂²) /m................ Equation 2

Given: m = 825 kg, F₁ = 64 N, F₂ = 38 N,

Substitute into equation 2

a = [√(64²+38²)]/825

a = {√(5540)}/825

a = 74.43/825

a = 0.09 m/s²
