How do exited atoms give off light

Light is produced by the change of state of energy of an electron. Within an atom, there are multiple electron "shells". 'Excited' atoms are those where the electrons are moving in between shells. The electrons move because they are given energy enough to move to a different shell; however, they are unstable and cannot remain in their new position. When moving back to its original shell, the electron loses energy - but energy can't be created nor destroyed so they release a photon. 
There's other ways light may be produced, but always it is produced as a result of transmission of energy (in some form). Also, light is usually produced in conjunction with other forms of energy such as sound or heat.

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given b
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given by :

Q=t^3-2t^2+4t+4

We need to find the current flowing. We know that the rate of change of electric charge is called electric current. It is given by :

I=\dfrac{dQ}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{d(t^3-2t^2+4t+4)}{dt}\\\\I=3t^2-4t+4

At t = 1 s,

Current,

I=3(1)^2-4(1)+4\\\\I=3\ A

So, the current at t = 1 s is 3 A.

For lowest current,

\dfrac{dI}{dt}=0\\\\\dfrac{d(3t^2-4t+4)}{dt}=0\\\\6t-4=0\\\\t=0.67\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) \Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b) \Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred,dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J

initial temperature of car, T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K

final temperature of car, T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)} (heat is transferred into the system of car)

\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J

initial temperature of house, T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K

final temperature of house, T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}

\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}
