Answer:

The choice of the answer is fourth option that is -61 degrees.

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Explanation:

Given:

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees

Start temperature = 55°Centigrade. (Initial temperature)

End of the Day      = -6°Centigrade. (Final temperature)

To Find:

How far did the temperature drop?

Solution:

We will have,

\textrm{Temperature drop}=\textrm{Final temperature}-\textrm{Initial temperature}

Substituting the above values in it we get

\textrm{Temperature drop}=-6-55\\\\\therefore \textrm{Temperature drop}=-61\° centigrade

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Which subatomic particle gives off visible light when it drops back down to a lower energy state?
icang [17]

Answer:

Option C = electron

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Other process may involve,

Fluorescence:

In fluorescence the energy is absorbed by the electron having shorter wavelength and high energy usually of U.V region. The process of absorbing the light occur in a very short period of time i.e. 10 ∧-15 sec. During the fluorescence the spin of electron not changed.

The electron is then de-excited by emitting the light in visible and IR region. This process of de-excitation occur in a time period of 10∧-9 sec.

Phosphorescence:

In phosphorescence the electron also goes to the excitation to the higher level by absorbing the U.V radiations. In case of Phosphorescence the transition back to the lower energy level occur very slowly and the spin pf electron also change.
