उत्तर
Given: λ = 250 m, c = 3 × 108 m/s
To find: Frequency (ν)
Formula: c = νλ
Calculation: From formula,
ν = `"c"/λ=(3xx10^8)/250` = 1.2 × 106 Hz = 1.2 MHz
The frequency of a radio wave is 1.2 MHz.

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.
