An atom emits energy equal to `4 xx 10^(-12)` erg. In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the corresponding line lie?
A. UV region
B. Infrared region
C. Visible region
D. Microwave region.
Correct Answer - C
The wavelength corresponding to energy `4xx10^(-12)` ergs is
`lambda=(hC)/(DeltaE)=(6.62xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^8)/(4xx10^(-12)xx10^(-7))`
`=4.965xx10^(-7)`m=4965 Ã…
Visible region extends from 3800 Ã…-7600 Ã…
Correct Answer - C
`lambda=(C)/(v)=( 3 xx 10^(8))/( 6 xx 10^(12))=5 xx 10^(-5)`
`:. lambda = 500 xx 10^(-7) m ` i.e. `lambda gt lambda_R `
`:. ` This lies in...
Correct Answer - B
Consider a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the electromagnetic wave. If electric charges are present in this plane, they will be set and sustained...
Correct Answer - A
Electromagnetic waves have linear momentum as well as energy. This concludes that they can exert radiation pressure by falling beam of electromagnetic radiation on an object.
Correct Answer - D
`(1)/(lambda)=R[1/(2^2)-1/(5^2)]=R[1/(4)-1/(25)]=(21R)/(100)`
`therefore lambda=(100)/(21R)=(100)/(21xx1.1xx10^7)=(100)/(23.1)xx10^-7m=4346Å`
This corresponds to voilet.
Correct Answer - C
According to classical electronmagnetic theory, an accelerated charge continuously emits radiation. As electrons revolving in circular paths are constantly experiencing centripetal acceleration,hence thay will be losing their...
