उत्तर

A radio can tune to minimum frequency, v1 = 7.5 MHz = 7.5 × 106 Hz

Maximum frequency, v2 = 12 MHz = 12 × 106 Hz

Speed of light, c = 3 × 108 m/s

Corresponding wavelength for v1 can be calculated as:

`lambda_1 = "c"/"v"_1`

= `(3 xx 10^8)/(7.5 xx 10^6)`

= 40 m

Corresponding wavelength for v2 can be calculated as:

`lambda_2 = "c"/"v"_2`

= `(3 xx 10^8)/(12 xx 10^6)`

= 25 m

Thus, the wavelength band of the radio is 40 m to 25 m.

In an atom X, electrons absorb the energy from an external source. This energy “excites” the electrons from a lower-energy level to a higher-energy level around the nucleus of the atom. When electrons return to the ground state, they emit photons.

The figure below is the energy level diagram of atom X with three energy levels, E1 = 0.00eV, E2 = 1.78eV and E3 = 2.95eV. The ground state is considered 0 eV for reference. The transition of electrons takes place between levels E1 and E2.

  1. What wavelength of radiation is needed to excite the atom to energy level E2 from E1?
  2. Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?
