प्रश्न
The terminology of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is given in the text. Use the formula E = hv (for energy of a quantum of radiation: photon) and obtain the photon energy in units of eV for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In what way are the different scales of photon energies that you obtain related to the sources of electromagnetic radiation?

उत्तर
Energy of a photon is given as:
`"E" = "hv" = ("hc")/lambda`
Where,
h = Planck’s constant = 6.6 × 10−34 Js
c = Speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s
λ = Wavelength of radiation
∴ E = `(6.6 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/lambda`
= `(19.8 xx 10^-26)/lambda` J
= `(19.8 xx 10^-26)/(lambda xx 1.6xx10^-19)` J
= `(12.375 xx 10^-7)/lambda "eV"`
The given table lists the photon energies for different parts of an electromagnetic spectrum for different λ.
| λ (m) | 103 | 1 | 10−3 | 10−6 | 10−8 | 10−10 | 10−12 |
| E (eV) | 12.375 × 10−10 | 12.375 × 10−7 | 12.375 × 10−4 | 12.375 × 10−1 | 12.375 × 101 | 12.375 × 103 | 12.375 × 105 |
The photon energies for the different parts of the spectrum of a source indicate the spacing of the relevant energy levels of the source.

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.
