What happens when an electron emits a photon?

Physics
1 answer:
Vera_Pavlovna [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

An electron emits a photon and falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.

Explanation:

A quantized form of electromagnetic radiation is called a photon.

Since the electromagnetic radiation has dual characteristics. The photons are the energy wave packets of the radiation.

When an electron is exposed to such radiation, it absorbs some of the energies of photons and goes to the excited state.

The excited state is only a temporary state. So, the electron releases some energy that comes to a lower energy level.

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.
