6- The energy difference between two energy shells is calculated using the formula
ΔE=E f −E i where E f is the energy of the final shell, and E i is the energy of the initial shell from which the transition occurs. For example, for the transition n=4 to n=1 , the initial shell is the fourth shell, and the final shell is the first shell. Thus, the change in energy between the fourth and the first shell is denoted as ΔE=E 1 −E 4 . The energy corresponding to a shell is calculated using E n =−2.179×10 −18 /(n) 2 J

1) A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 FM or 92.3 FM, is actually its frequency in megahertz (MHz ), where 1MHz=10 6 Hz and 1Hz=1s −1 .Calculate the broadcast wavelength of the radio station 94.30 FM.

Speed of light ( c ) = 3.00 X 10^8 m*s-1
Wavelength (w) * frequency (v) = speed of light (c )
Frequency = 94.30 FM or 94.30 MHz or 94.30 X10^6 s-1
Since wv = c, w = c/ v = 3.00 X 10^8 m*s-1 / 94.30 X 10^6 s-1
= 0.0318 X 10^2 m = 3.18 m

2) Hospital X-ray generators emit X-rays with wavelength of about 15.0 nanometers (nm ), where 1nm=10 −9 m. What is the energy of the X-rays?
Wavelength = 15 nm
Using formula E = hv; where E is the energy of the radiation, v is the frequency of radiation, and h is a proportional constant called Planck's constant
You also need the formula wv = c;
h = 6.626 X 10^ -34 J*s
Find the frequency of the X-ray: v = c/ w = 3.00 X 10^8 m*s-1 / 15 X 10^-9 m
= 2 s-1
Substituting for E = hv;
= 6.626 X10^-34 J*s X 2 s^-1
= 13.25 X 10^-34 J

3) What is the azimuthal quantum number (also called the angular-momentum quantum number), ℓ, for the orbital shown here? Express your answer numerically as an integer.

n= 4, l= 0, 1,2,3

4) What is the change in energy, ΔE , in kilo-joules per mole of hydrogen atoms for an electron transition from n=3 to n=2

En = -2.18 X 10-18 J / n^2

E3 = -2.18 X 10-18 J / 3^2 = -2.18 X 10^-18 / 9 = -0.24 X 10^-18
E2 = -2.18 X10^-18 J/ 2^2 = -2.18 X 10 ^-18/ 4 = -0.55 X 10^-18

ΔE = E 3- E2
= -0.55 X10^-18 - - 0.24 X 10^-18 = -0.31 X 10^-18

ΔE=E f −E I = E2 - E3

What is the threshold frequency ν 0 of cesium?Note that 1 eV (electron volt)=1.60×10 −19 J. Answer in Hz
Using the equation, Ф = hv0, where Ф stands for work function or energy required to emit electron, h is constant, and v0 is the frequency threshold
1eV = 1.60 X 10-19 J, so 0.01 eV = 0.016 X10^-19 J
V0 = Ф / h = 0.016 X 10^-19 J/ 6.626 X 10^-34 J*s
= 0.0024 X 10^15 s

6) The energy difference between two energy shells is calculated using the formula
ΔE=E f −E i where E f is the energy of the final shell, and E i is the energy of the initial shell from which the transition occurs. For example, for the transition n=4 to n=1 , the initial shell is the fourth shell, and the final shell is the first shell. Thus, the change in energy between the fourth and the first shell is denoted as ΔE=E 1 −E 4 . The energy corresponding to a shell is calculated using E n =−2.179×10 −18 /(n) 2 J
where n is the shell number. Calculate the energy difference for a transition in the Paschen series for a transition from the higher energy shell n=4 .Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
ΔE=E f −E i;
ΔE=E 1 −E 4;
E1 = -2.18 X 10^-18 J/ 1^1 = -2.18 X 10^-18 J
E4 = -2.18 X 10 ^-18 J/ 4^2 = -0.136 X 10^-18J
So E1- E4 = -2.18 X10^-18J - -0.136 X 10^-18J
= -2.04 X10^-18 J
