What are the ultraviolet rays?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Ultraviolet rays can be produced by the mercury-vapor lamp, electric spark, and carbon arc lamp.
- They can also be obtained by striking electrical discharge in hydrogen and xenon gas tubes.
- The Sun is the most important natural source of ultraviolet rays, most of which is absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth’s atmosphere.

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?
