Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

Whenever the bright lines fall on the metal surface, the emission of a photon takes place, and when the dark lines fall on the metal surface, the absorption of a photon takes place.

02

Explanation for (a)

Given that the photon is getting absorbed with the energy of E1E0.

For the absorption process the tail of the arrow should be in the initial state and the head of the arrow should be in the final state. As here energy is E1E0, so the tail of the arrow should be at E0 and the head of the arrow should be at E1.

Therefore absorption of photon whose energy isE1E0 is represented by arrow 1.

03

Explanation for (b)

Given that absorption of photon takes place from an excited state (a rare event at low temperatures).

In the given diagram absorption of photon takes place from the excited state E1to E3.

Therefore the absorption from the excited state ( a rare event at low temperature) is represented by arrow .

04

Explanation for (c)

Given that the photon is getting emitted with the energy of E3E1.

For the emission process the tail of the arrow should be in the initial state and the head of the arrow should be in the final state. As here energy is E3E1, so the tail of the arrow should be at E3and the head of the arrow should be at E1.

Therefore, emission of photon whose energy is E3E1is represented by arrow 2.

05

Explanation for (d)

Given that the photon is getting emitted with the energy of E2E0.

For the emission process the tail of the arrow should be in the initial state and the head of the arrow should be in the final state. As here energy is E2E0, so the tail of the arrow should be at E2 and the head of the arrow should be at E0.

Therefore emission of photon whose energy is E2E0 is represented by arrow 3.

06

Explanation for  (e)

  1. In case of the absorption, the head of the arrow points up, whereas in case of emission the head of the arrow pints down. So the given statement is false.
  2. In case of emission the head of the arrow pints down. So the given statement is true.
  3. In case of the absorption, the head of the arrow points up. So the given statement is true.
  4. For the emission process the tail of the arrow should be in the initial state. So the given statement is true.
  5. For the emission or absorption, the head of the drawn to the final state. So the given statement is true.
  6. For the emission or absorption, the head of the drawn to the final state. If there is no error, so we can鈥檛 be able to find whether the transition is emission or absorption. So the given statement is false.

Energy graphs: (a) Figure 8.41 shows a graph of potential energy vs. interatomic distance for a particular molecule. What is the direction of the associated force at location A? At location B? At location C? Rank the magnitude of the force at locations A,B and C. (That is, which is greatest , which is smallest, and are any of these equal to each other?) For the energy level shown on the graph, draw a line whose height is the kinetic energy when the system is at location D.

(b) Figure 8.42 shows all of the quantized energies (bound states) for one of these molecules. The energy for each state is given on the graph, in electron volts ( 1eV=1.61019J). How much energy is required to break a molecule apart, if it is initially in the ground state? (Note that the final state must be an unbound state; the unbound states are not quantized.)

(c) At high enough temperatures, in a collection of these molecules there will be at all times some molecules in each of these states, and light will be emitted. What are the energies in electron volts of the emitted light?

(d) The "inertial" mass of the molecule is the mass that appears in Newton's second law, and it determines how much acceleration will result from applying a given force. Compare the inertial mass of a molecule in the ground state and the inertial mass of a molecule in an excited state10eV above the ground state. If there is a difference, briefly explain why and calculate the difference. If there isn't a difference, briefly explain why not.)

For a certain diatomic molecule, the lowest-energy photon observed in the vibrational spectrum is 0.17eV. What is the energy of a photon emitted in a transition from the 5th excited vibrational energy level to the 2nd excited vibrational energy level, assuming no change in the rotational energy?

How many different photon energies would emerge from a collection of hydrogen atoms that occupy the lowest four energy states (N=1,2,3,4) ? (You need not calculate the energies of each states.

N=1 is the lowest electronic energy state for a hydrogen atom. (a) If a hydrogen atom is in a state N=4, what is K+U for this atom (in eV)? (b) The hydrogen atom makes a transition to state N=2, Now what is K+U in electron volts for this atom? (c) What is energy (in eV) of the photon emitted in the transition from level N=4 to N=2? (d) Which of the arrows in figure 8.40 represents this transition?


Assume that a hypothetical object has just four quantum states, with the following energies:

-1.0eV(third excited state)

-1.8eV(second excited state)

-2.9eV(first excited state)

-4.8eV(ground state)

(a) Suppose that material containing many such objects is hit with a beam of energetic electrons, which ensures that there are always some objects in all of these states. What are the six energies of photons that could be strongly emitted by the material? (In actual quantum objects there are often 鈥渟election rules鈥 that forbid certain emissions even though there is enough energy; assume that there are no such restrictions here.) List the photon emission energies. (b) Next, suppose that the beam of electrons is shut off so that all of the objects are in the ground state almost all the time. If electromagnetic radiation with a wide range of energies is passed through the material, what will be the three energies of photons corresponding to missing (鈥渄ark鈥) lines in the spectrum? Remember that there is hardly any absorption from excited states, because emission from an excited state happens very quickly, so there is never a significant number of objects in an excited state. Assume that the detector is sensitive to a wide range of photon energies, not just energies in the visible region. List the dark-line energies.
