Wavelengths, of electromagnetic radiation

The hydrogen atom attached to an alkane molecule vibrates along the bond axis at a frequency of about 3000 cm. What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is resonant with this vibration What is the frequency in hertz What is the force constant of the C II bond if the alkane is taken to be a stationary mass because of its size and the H atom is assumed to execute simple harmonic motion ... 

Absorption of a photon is accompanied by the excitation of an electron from a lower-energy atomic orbital to an orbital of higher energy. Not all possible transitions between atomic orbitals are allowed. For sodium the only allowed transitions are those in which there is a change of +1 in the orbital quantum number ) thus transitions from s—orbitals are allowed, but transitions from s d orbitals are forbidden. The wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that must be absorbed to cause several allowed transitions are shown in Figure 10.18. 

The absorptivity and molar absorptivity give, in effect, the probability that the analyte will absorb a photon of given energy. As a result, values for both a and 8 depend on the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. 

Wavelength, A (Section 12.5) The length of a wave from peak to peak. The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is inversely proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to energy.

The starting point of any study of particle systems is the characterisation of particles in terms of their size, shape and density. Figure 1 shows the range of sizes of some commonly encountered particulate materials compared with other quantities, such as the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation and the sizes of molecules.

If the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons is to be 2.00 X 10 m what should the wavelength of the radiation be ... 

Analytical spectroscopy is the science of determining how much of a substance is present in a sample by accurately measuring how much light is absorbed or emitted by atoms or molecules within it. Different types of spectroscopy are available, depending on the type or wavelength of electromagnetic radiation absorbed or emitted by the atom or molecule. A detailed review of all types of modern instrumental analysis is beyond the scope of this book, but the use of spectroscopy in the analysis of drugs and medicines is very important and will be considered.
