Answer:

7.39ev

Explanation:

Energy levels are found inside the atom. Electrons occupy these energy levels depending on the energy they possess. Electrons can move from one energy level to another due to absorption or emission of a photon or other factors. As the electron, jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level emitting a photon of measurable frequency, the photon carries energy equal to the amount of energy between the gap of the levels. This idea was first proposed by Neils Bohr and became the forerunner of the wave mechanical model of the atom.

Hence the energy of a photon is the energy of the gap between the two energy levels. Since Ea= 2.48ev and Eg= 10.38 ev.

If an electron jumps from Ea to Eg, the energy of the photon absorbed is given by;

E=Eg-Ea

E= 10.38ev - 2.48ev

E= 7.39ev

Answer:

t = 103.45 n m

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of cornea = 1.38

refractive index of eye drop = 1.45

wavelength of refractive index = 600 nm

refractive index of eye drop is greater than refractive index of cornea and the air.

Formula used in this case

for constructive interference

$2 n t = (m + \dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

At m = 0 for the minimum thickness, so

$2\times 1.45 \times t = (0 + 0.5)\times 600$

$2.9 \times t =300$

$t =\dfrac{300}{2.9}$

t = 103.45 n m

the minimum thickness of the film of eyedrops t = 103.45 n m

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$
