An electron drops from a level at -1.51 eV to one at -3.4 eV. What energy does the photon carry, to 0.01 eV, Ari?
An electron drops from a level at -3.4 eV to one at -13.6 eV. What energy does the photon carry, to 0.01 eV, Bo?
An electron drops from a level at -0.85 eV to one at -1.51 eV. What energy does the photon carry, to 0.01 eV, Esme?
On the ladder, which level has the lowest energy, Kira?
- n = 1
- n = 3
- n = 4
On the ladder, how many lines does one drop make in the strip, Luz?
Use the picture in question 4.
- Two
- A full rainbow
- One
Why does glowing hydrogen give off only certain colors, Milo?
- Its glass tube is tinted
- It gives off each color of light
- Its electrons have set levels
Why does each element give its own set of lines, Pia?
- Each has a different color of electron
- Each one burns at its own speed
- Each has its own energy levels
A described result: a sodium lamp glows yellow-orange. Which lines cause that, Ren?
- Sodium's lines near 589 nm
- Lines spread across each color
- Lines near 410 nm
A neon sign glows red-orange. What causes the color, Tala?
- Neon's own energy levels
- The heat of the wires
- Red paint on the glass tube
In a described flame test, what does the color of the flame tell you, Zee?
- How much the sample weighs
- How hot the room is
- Which element is present
