Chapter 7: Problem 3

List the types of electromagnetic radiation, starting with the radiation having the longest wavelength and ending with the radiation having the shortest wavelength.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The types of electromagnetic radiation, starting with the longest wavelength and ending with the shortest, are: Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.

Step by step solution

01

Identifying the type of radiation with the longest wavelength

Identify the type of electromagnetic radiation that has the longest wavelength. In this case, it is radio waves.
02

Listing the remaining types in order

After radio waves, list the remaining types of electromagnetic radiation in decreasing order of wavelength: Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-rays.
03

Identifying the type of radiation with the shortest wavelength

Identify the type of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength. In this case, it is Gamma Rays. Add this to your list.

Give the high and low wavelength values that define the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Spectral lines of the Lyman and Balmer series do not overlap. Verify this statement by calculating the longest wavelength associated with the Lyman series and the shortest wavelength associated with the Balmer series (in \(\mathrm{nm}\) ).

Only a fraction of the electrical energy supplied to a tungsten lightbulb is converted to visible light. The rest of the energy shows up as infrared radiation (that is, heat). A 75-W lightbulb converts 15.0 percent of the energy supplied to it into visible light (assume the wavelength to be \(550 \mathrm{nm}\) ). How many photons are emitted by the lightbulb per second? \((1 \mathrm{~W}=1 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s} .)\)

The radioactive \(\mathrm{Co}-60\) isotope is used in nuclear medicine to treat certain types of cancer. Calculate the wavelength and frequency of an emitted gamma particle having the energy of \(1.29 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}\).

State the Aufbau principle and explain the role it plays in classifying the elements in the periodic table.
