    What Are the Energy Transitions in a Hypothetical Atom When Exposed to Light?

    a) Calculated E1 = 5.99eV and E2 = 8.49eV as energies given off b) From ground state, -10.0eV + 5.99eV gives me -4.01eV -10.0eV + 8.49315 gives me = -1.50685eV Meaning on my diagram, the first excited state would be -4.01eV and second being -1.50685 d) using lambda = (hc/E) I first find...

    What Are the Energy Transitions in a Hypothetical Atom When Exposed to Light?

    So to try this again. For part a) E1 from 207nm lambda comes out to be 5.99 and E2 from 146nm to be 8.4935 For part b) You draw those two levels as excited states on the diagram Then for part d) I keep thinking of using the same (1/lambda) equation to find the wavelength with nf...

    What Are the Energy Transitions in a Hypothetical Atom When Exposed to Light?

    1. Problem: The ground-state energy of a hypothetical atom is at -10.0eV. When these atoms, in the ground state, are illuminated with light, only the wavelengths of 207 nanometers and 146 nanometers are absorbed by the light atoms (1 nanometer = 10^-9meters). (a)Calculate the energies of...

    Capacitors in Series: Finding Equivalent Capacitance and Stored Charge

    Charges are the same becuase its in series. Sorry, read the question wrong, if I redo everything with series, it works. I swear it said parallel.

    Uniform Electric Field Upward Electric Force Equals Weight. HELP

    1. An object with a charge of -3.6uC and a mass of .012kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric field, equal in magnitude to its weight. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of the electric field. (b) If the electric charge on the object is doubled while its mass...
