How and where are gamma rays produced?
Gamma rays are particularly energetic photons. On Earth, they are emitted from radioactive substances, during radioactive decay and are also created in x-Ray machines. They can also be produced during very energetic events in space, such as the explosion of a star. Cosmic Rays are gamma rays that continually bombard the Earth.
Why is only one colour produced by a laser beam?
The light emitted by a laser comes from a transition between two specific electronic states of the material it's made of. Because each state has a unique energy, the transition between the two always releases exactly the same energy, which translates to exactly one wavelength of light.
Write a sentence using the word emitted?
The bomb emitted radiation.
What is the electromagnetic specturm?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
What is the verb form of the word emission?
The verb form is to emit (emits, emitting, emitted); an emission is something that is emitted.
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called a?
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called an emission. Light/energy emissions are released in a characteristic manner (wavelength) that corresponds to the amount of energy lost.
Why does a star burn brighter when its hotter?
The star is hotter because the fusion process is more energetic, and photons are emitted as a result of fusion. So more energetic fusion...more energetic photons. On the electromagnetic spectrum, higher energy is to the right, which is the "brighter" end of the spectrum.
What is spectral radiancy?
Power emitted from a unit area of a particular temperature
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called?
proton
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light is called what?
Electromagnetic radiation
Who discervied neutrons?
Bothe and Becker of Germany in 1931 discovered an unusually penetrating particle from Polonium. When its energetic alpha particle fell on one of the light elements such as Lithium, Beryllium, or Boron an energetic particle was emitted. Chadwick of Cambridge eventually unravelled the mystery. A neutron.
To which series would the emitted light belong if an electron in a hydrogen atom underwent a transition from level n 5 to level n 1?
Lyman
Who purposed that the energy emitted or absorbed by any object is restricted to quanta of particular sizes?
he did both
If transition occurs from n 4 to n 1 how many spectral lines are emmited?
If the transition is directly from level 4 to level 1, a single photon - in a single frequency - is emitted. However, it is also possible that an electron falls first from level 4 to level 3, and then from level 3 to level 1, for example. In this case, more than one photon - of different frequencies - can be emitted.
What is radoiactivity?
Radioactivity is the property possessed by some elements (as uranium) or isotopes (as carbon 14) of spontaneously emitting energetic particles (as electrons or alpha particles) by the disintegration of their atomic nuclei; also : the rays emitted
How and where are gamma rays produced?
Gamma rays are particularly energetic photons. On Earth, they are emitted from radioactive substances, during radioactive decay and are also created in x-Ray machines. They can also be produced during very energetic events in space, such as the explosion of a star. Cosmic Rays are gamma rays that continually bombard the Earth.
Light is emitted as an electron transitions from a higher energy orbital to a lower energy orbital How long does it take for the actual transition to take place?
It takes no time as electrons can not exist in an inbetween state of charge
