How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?

Physics

tangare [24]3 years ago

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon !   If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove.  It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels.  Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up.  We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular path around a proton. The speed of the electron is appro
blondinia [14]
In order to answer these questions, we need to know the charges on
the electron and proton, and then we need to know the electron's mass. 
I'm beginning to get the creepy feeling that, in return for the generous
5 points, you also want me to go and look these up so I can use them
in calculations ... go and collect my own straw to make the bricks with,
as it were. 

Ok, Rameses:

Elementary charge . . . . .  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  coulomb
                                        negative on the electron
                                        plussitive on the proton

Electron rest-mass . . . . .  9.11 x 10⁻³¹  kg


a).  The force between two charges is

      F  =  (9 x 10⁹) Q₁ Q₂ / R²

          =  (9 x 10⁹ m/farad) (-1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹m)²

          =     ( -2.304 x 10⁻²⁸) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)²

          =          8.05 x 10⁻⁸  Newton .


b).  Centripetal acceleration  = 

                                               v² / r  .

                  A  =  (2.03 x 10⁶)² / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)

                     =      7.7 x 10²²  m/s² .

That's an enormous acceleration ... about  7.85 x 10²¹  G's !
More than enough to cause the poor electron to lose its lunch.

It would be so easy to check this work of mine ...
First I calculated the force, then I calculated the centripetal acceleration.
I didn't use either answer to find the other one, and I didn't use  "  F = MA "
either.

I could just take the ' F ' that I found, and the 'A' that I found, and the
electron mass that I looked up, and mash the numbers together to see
whether  F = M A .

I'm going to leave that step for you.   Good luck !

If the wavelength is doubled what happens to the period​
Temka [501]

Answer: Wave speed may equal frequency*wavelength. Yet doubling the frequency only halves the wavelength; wave speed remains the same. To change the wave speed, the medium would have to be changed. 24. What are some simple steps I can take to protect my privacy online? Many people ... So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. 3.8k views ... The period of a note is 0.3 seconds and the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. What is the period of a wave if the wavelength is 100m and the speed is 200 m/s? ... If you move towards a light source, the wavelength decreases.

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.
hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.

The temperature of a black body is 500 and its radiation is of wavelength 600 . If the number of oscillators with energy is 100
stiks02 [169]

Answer: An equation is missing in your question below is the missing equation

a) ≈ 8396

b) 150 nm/k

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the number of Oscillators in the black body</u>

number of oscillators = 8395

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) determine the peak wavelength of the black body </u>

Black body temperature = 20,000 K

applying Wien's law / formula

λmax = b / T  ------ ( 1 )

T = 20,000 K

b = 3 * 10^6 nm

∴  λmax = 150 nm/k
