A sodium vapor lamp operates by using electricity to excite the highest-energy electron to the next highest-energy level. light

is produced when the excited electron drops back to the lower level. which two energy levels are involved in this process for the na atom?

Answer:

The energy levels are: 3s and 3p

Explanation:

<u>The sodium (Na) element, with atomic number 11 (number of protons: Z=11), has the next electronic configuration</u>:  

Z=11:  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹ = [Ne] 3s¹    

<u>Hence, the electricity used in a sodium vapor lamp will</u> excite the electron of the energy state n=3 from the s-orbital to the next highest energy p-orbital <u>which then</u> drops back to the lower energy s-orbital by the emission of a photon <u>resulting in the production of light</u>.      

<u />

<u>The transition of the electron is</u>:

Excitation: [Ne] 3s¹ → [Ne] 3s⁰ 3p¹

Emission: [Ne] 3p¹ → [Ne] 3s¹                                                                    

So, the energy levels that are involved in the process are 3s and 3p.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

The work done shall be 14715 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by a force 'F' in a displacement 'dy' is given by

W=m(y)g\times dy

At any position 'y' the weight shall be sum of weft of water and weight of string

\therefore m(y)=m_{water}(y)+m_{string}(y)\\\\m(y)=30(1-\frac{y}{10})+0.9y

Thus applying values we get

W=\int m(y)g\times dy\\\\W=\int_{0}^{10}(30(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)\times g)dy\\\\Solving\\W=294.3\int_{0}^{10}(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)dy\\\\W=14715J

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y directio
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave

is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .

Given Electric field  = E i because it is along x axis

Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis

E x B = Ei x Bj

= EB k .

so direction of E  x B is along k direction or z  - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .

Consider the following neutral electron configurations in which n has a constant value. Which configuration would belong to the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

he configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5

Explanation:

Electronic affinity is the variation of energy when we add an electron to a neutral atom to form an ion

When an electron is added, it must occupy a space is the sub-level of the atom, giving more stability when it approaches the configuration of a complete shell with eight electrons (noble gas), so the affinity must increase when moving in a period Group VIII noble gases)

Let's examine the given settings

In this case, when adding an electron, 2s2 is very far from a complete level configuration, so its affinity must be small.

2s2 2p2 when adding an electro the one has a little more affinity, but is still a long way from a full shell, it would be missing 3 electrons

2s2 2sp5 this is the atom with the highest electronic affinity, since i = that when adding an electron the ion has the configuration of a noble gas. This is the most stable on the list

2s2 2p6 already has a full shell making it very difficult to insert an electron into this atom.

In summary, the configuration with the highest electronic affinity is 2s2 2p5
