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.

Design a solution that can monitor and minimize the melting of sea ice caused by human activity
dedylja [7]

Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer?
Archy [21]
The answer is D. As the ambulance gets closer, the sound waves are compressed relative to the person; so the frequency increases.

Find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington, 1900 m above sea level. Take the
Natali [406]

Answer:

The potential energy of the hiker is 1.13\times 10^6\ J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hiker, m = 61 kg

Height above sea level, h = 1900 m

We need to find the potential energy associated with a 61-kg hiker atop New Hampshire's Mount Washington. The potential energy is given by :

E=mgh

g is the acceleration due to gravity

E=61\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1900\ m\\\\E=1.13\times 10^6\ J

So, the potential energy of the hiker is 1.13\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
