Chapter 6: Problem 17

Arrange the following kinds of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength: infrared, green light, red light, radio waves, X rays, ultraviolet light.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The final order of the given types of electromagnetic radiation in increasing wavelength is: X Rays, Ultraviolet light, Infrared, Green light, Red light, and Radio Waves.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Electromagnetic Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum represents all the types of electromagnetic radiation, from the shortest wavelength (highest frequency) to the longest wavelength (lowest frequency). The order of different types of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum is as follows: Gamma Rays, X-Rays, UV Rays, Visible Light, Infrared, Microwaves, and Radio Waves.
02

Identify Wavelength Trends

As we go from left to right on the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelengths of these kinds of radiation increase. Consequently, wavelength increases in this order: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves.
03

Arrange the Given Electromagnetic Radiation

The task is to arrange the given types of radiation in order of increasing wavelength. We can refer to the order in Step 2 and use it to arrange our given types: Infrared, Green light (Visible Light), Red light (Visible Light), Radio Waves, X-Rays, and Ultraviolet light.
04

Comparing Colors within Visible Light

Within the visible light range, colors have the following order of increasing wavelength: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. As both green light and red light are given in the problem, we can place them in order like this: green light, red light.
05

Final Order of Electromagnetic Radiation

Now that we have arranged all the types of given electromagnetic radiation, we can list them in the final order of increasing wavelength: X Rays, Ultraviolet light, Infrared, Green light, Red light, and Radio Waves.

Is energy emitted or absorbed when the following electronic transitions occur in hydrogen? (a) from \(n=4\) to \(n=2\) , (b) from an orbit of radius 2.12 A to one of radius \(8.46 \hat{A},(\mathbf{c})\) an electron adds to the \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\) ion and ends up in the \(n=3\) shell?

How many unique combinations of the quantum numbers \(l\) and \(m_{l}\) are there when (a) \(n=3,\) (b) \(n=4 ?\)

(a) The average distance from the nucleus of a 3\(s\) electron in a chlorine atom is smaller than that for a 3\(p\) electron. In light of this fact, which orbital is higher in energy? (b) Would you expect it to require more or less energy to remove a 3\(s\) electron from the chlorine atom, as compared with a 2\(p\) electron?

An electron is accelerated through an electric potential to a kinetic energy of \(2.15 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{J}\) . What is its characteristic wavelength? [Hint: Recall that the kinetic energy of a moving object is \(E=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2},\) where \(m\) is the mass of the object and \(\nu\) is the speed of the object.

The rays of the Sun that cause tanning and burning are in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. These rays are categorized by wavelength. So-called UV-A radiation has wavelengths in the range of \(320-380 \mathrm{nm},\) whereas UV-B radiation has wavelengths in the range of \(290-320 \mathrm{nm} .\) (a) Calculate the frequency of light that has a wavelength of 320 \(\mathrm{nm}\) . (b) Calculate the energy of a mole of 320 -nm photons. (c) Which are more energetic, photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation? (d) The UV-B radiation from the Sun is considered a greater cause of sunburn in humans than is UV-A radiation. Is this observation consistent with your answer to part (c)?
