During each of these processes, a photon of light is given up. In each process, what wavelength of light is given up, and in what part of the electromagnetic spectrum is that wavelength? (a) A molecule decreases its vibrational energy by 0.198 eV;

A hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from a 2p state to the 1s ground state. In the absence of a magnetic field, the energy of the photon emitted is 122 nm. The atom is then placed in a strong magnetic field in the z@direction. Ignore spin effects; consider only the interaction of the magnetic field with the atom's orbital magnetic moment. (a) How many different photon wavelengths are observed for the 2p S 1s transition? What are the ml values for the initial and final states for the transition that leads to each photon wavelength?

CP The rotational energy levels of CO are calculated in Example 42.2. If the energy of the rotating molecule is described by the classical expression K = (1/2)Iω^2 , for the l = 1 level what are (a) the angular speed of the rotating molecule;

(a) Suppose a piece of very pure germanium is to be used as a light detector by observing, through the absorption of photons, the increase in conductivity resulting from generation of electron–hole pairs. If each pair requires 0.67 eV of energy, what is the maximum wavelength that can be detected? In what portion of the spectrum does it lie?
