Question:
(a) A molecule decreases its vibrational energy by 0.250 eV by giving up a photon of light. What wavelength of light does it give up during this process, and in what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does that wavelength of light lie?
(b) An atom decreases its energy by 8.50 eV by giving up a photon of light. What wavelength of light does it give up during this process, and in what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does that wavelength of light lie?
(c) A molecule decreases its rotational energy by 3.20 x 10-3 eV by giving up a photon of light. What wavelength of light does it give up during this process, and in what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does that wavelength of light lie?
