When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
an atom
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed from?
It's warmed from the surface. Shortwave radiation passes through the atmosphere, or at least about half of it, where it reaches the ground and is absorbed. The ground re-emits it at a longer wavelength, thereby warming the lower atmosphere.
What are the following processes transports on average the most energy from the ground to the atmosphere?
Radiation
When light from the sun warms the ground the transfer of heat energy is called?
Radiation
Why don't they see hydrogen Balmer lines in the spectra of stars with temperatures of 3200 K?
These stars are so cool that nearly all of the hydrogen atoms are in the ground state. The visible-light Balmer absorption lines of hydrogen are produced by electrons moving from the 1st excited state to a higher orbit. However in M class stars most of the hydrogen is in the ground state, and absorption from the the ground state occurs at ultraviolet wavelengths.
When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
an atom
Why is Earth's atmosphere mainly heated from the ground up?
Solar radiation mostly passes through the atmosphere without heating it, due to its wavelength. It does not pass through the ground, however, and it heats the ground. The ground emits radiation at a wavelength dependent on its temperature. This radiation happens to be in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, or in other words, sensible heat. Therefore, the atmosphere is heated by the surface, whereupon the heat tends to rise and heat the lower atmosphere.
What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation that will be emitted when an electron relaxes from energy level 2 to the ground state?
Unless you mean hydrogen, I need the Z number ( atomic number) Formula. ( ground state is 1 ) Hertz = (3.29 X 10^23 Hz) * Z^2 * (1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2) final - initial in that parenthesis, so 1 - 2, so to speak then wavelength = speed of light/Hertz
What is the wavelength of a photon that will induce a transition from the ground state to the n equals 4 state in hydrogen?
That is the "gamma" line of the Lyman series: 94.97 nanometers.
The drop of an electron from a high energy level to the ground state in a hydrogen atom would be most likely associated with?
high frequency radiation
Whenever an excited hydrogen atom falls back from an excited state to its ground state it?
The answer is (B) Emits a Photon of Radiation.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed from?
It's warmed from the surface. Shortwave radiation passes through the atmosphere, or at least about half of it, where it reaches the ground and is absorbed. The ground re-emits it at a longer wavelength, thereby warming the lower atmosphere.
What is the ground level of hydrogen?
The ground state electron configuration of hydrogen is 1s1.
How is extracted from the ground?
how is Hydrogen extracted from the ground
Can hydrogen emit an X-ray?
Yes, a hydrogen nucleus can emit an X-ray if it is excited sufficiently. All excited atomic nuclei can emit electromagnetic radiation. That's how they get coupled to their ground state. It is not unusual for highly energetic X-rays to be radiated from a nucleus that has become energized well above its ground state.
What are the weaknesses of cosmic background radiation?
the weakness of cosmic back ground radiation as those radiation are left over of big bangs
How does the ground state electron configuration of the hydrogen atom differ from that of a ground state helium atom?
The ground state electron configuration of the hydrogen atom is 1s1, and for helium it is 1s2.
