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.

List the hydrogen orbitals in increasing order of energy.

(a) What is the wavelength (in nanometers) of light having a frequency of \(8.6 \times 10^{13} \mathrm{~Hz} ?\) (b) What is the frequency (in Hz) of light having a wavelength of \(566 \mathrm{nm} ?\)

Which of the following species has the most unpaired electrons? \(\mathrm{S}^{+}, \mathrm{S},\) or \(\mathrm{S}^{-}\). Explain how you arrive at your answer.

Some copper compounds emit green light when they are heated in a flame. How would you determine whether the light is of one wavelength or a mixture of two or more wavelengths?

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? \((1 \mathrm{~W}=1 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s} .)\)
