A 100 W incandescent lightbulb emits about 5 W of visible light. (The other 95 W are emitted as infrared radiation or lost as heat to the surroundings.) The average wavelength of the visible light is about 600 nm, so make the simplifying assumption that all the light has this wavelength. How many visible-light photons does the bulb emit per second?
What is the third-longest wavelength in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen?
I The allowed energies of a simple atom are
a. Draw the atom's energy-level diagram. Label each level with the energy and the quantum number.
b. What wavelengths appear in the atom's emission spectrum?
c. What wavelengths appear in the atom's absorption spectrum?
A 75 kW radio transmitter emits 550 kHz radio waves uniformly in all directions. At what rate do photons strike a 1.5-m-tall, 3.0-mm-diameter antenna that is 15 km away?
Dinoflagellates are single-cell organisms that float in the world’s oceans. Many types are bioluminescent. When disturbed, a typical bioluminescent dinoflagellate emits 108 photons in a 0.10-s-long flash of wavelength 460 nm. What is the power of the flash?
