Describe how light is emitted from an atom. A) As protons absorb energy they travel from the nucleus through the atom emitting l

ight along the way. B) The light is emitted when energy from sunlight is absorbed by the atom to excite a neutron into a higher level. C) When the nucleus absorbs sunlight, photons are energized and move to a higher energy level and are then released. D) Light is emitted from an atom as an electron falls from an excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Answer is: D) Light is emitted from an atom as an electron falls from an excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν (energy difference of the levels).

When electron jump from higher to lower energy level (shell), it emitting (releasing) energy.

For example, when the electron changes from n=4 (fouth shell) to n=2 (second shell), the photons are emitted.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) proposed that a beam of light is a collection of discrete wave packets (photons) with energy hν, where h is Planck constant and ν is frequency.

The photons have a characteristic energy proportional to the frequency of the light.

Minimum frequency or the threshold frequency is energy below which no photoelectrons are emitted.  

Above the minimum frequency, energy depends on the frequency of the light, not on the intensity of the light.

Please help!! A lot of points!!
Artist 52 [7]
Mean: the average. you have to add the values of the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers there are. a common mistake to avoid is forgetting to divide the numbers at the end or subtracting them instead of adding.

mean: the middle number. you would first need to order the numbers from least to greatest. a common mistake to avoid is finding the middle number before ordering it from least to greatest

these two can also be commonly mistaken for one another because of the similar spelling.

Breaking an object such as a mirror is an example of physical change, chemical change,physical reaction, chemical reaction
dangina [55]

Answer:

option A= Physical change

Explanation:

physical change:

" It is a change in which no new substance is formed"

Breaking of object like glass is the example of physical change because it is not change into another object. It effect the form of object but can not change the chemical composition.

Chemical changes:

" it is a change in which one substance is converted into new product through chemical reaction".

During the chemical changes the types and the number of atom remain same but their arrangement changed.

for example: burning of wood, baking of cake, digesting food, resting of iron etc.

Physical reaction:

" physical reaction occur during the molecular rearrangement. There is no chemical change occur"

In this type of changes no bonds are break to form new bonds, for example boiling point.

Chemical reaction:

" chemical reaction occur when molecules are chemically react with each others and bonds formation and breaking is also occur"
