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