An volt (eV) is a measure of:

A) 1 eV = 1.6 x 10-19 J B) Force C) Energy D) Momentum E) None of the above

Spectrum of “white” is essentially continuous.

It turns out that the electron may only assume certain orbits. N=1

Then U + Kelectron can be only certain values. N=2 N=3

electronic energy levels of (no other atom has these levels!) CLICKER QUESTION 1

Suppose that these are the quantized energy levels (K+U) for A) 9 eV an atom. Initially the atom is in its B) 6 eV [ ] (symbolized by a dot). C) 5 eV An electron with D) 3 eV 6 eV collides with the atom and E) 2 eV excites it. What is the remaining kinetic energy of the electron?

Only possible excitation: -9 eV → -5 eV. Not enouggyh K in electron for any other excitation.

System = atom + electron: ΔEatom + ΔEelectron = W + Q = 0 → ΔE =- 4eV4 eV ΔEatom =[(= [(-5eV)5 eV) – (-9eV)]=49 eV)] = 4 electron

In this course we won’t touch most of . It’s a very interesting story, however . . . Emission and Absorption of

emitted photon

absorbed photon How Do We Determine Energy Levels?

We look at light emitted from some gas of atoms , and we see photons with energies 1 eV,,,,,, 2 eV, 3 eV, 6 eV, 8 eV, 9 eV

Play with the numbers for a while. The following energy levels are consistent with this data:

-10 eV, -9 eV, -7 eV, -1 eV (or -11, -10, -8, -2 etc.) CLICKER QUESTION 2

Suppose that these are the quantized energy A) 2, 5, and 9 eV levels (K+U) for an atom. B) 3, 4, and 7 eV If the atom is excited to C) 3 or 7 eV the D) 5 or 9 eV (marked by a dot), what E) 2 eV are the possible energies of ppghotons it might emit?

Possible atomic transitions:

•-2 → -9 gives ΔEatom =-7 eV which gives Ephoton = 7 eV OR

•-2 → -5 gives Ephoton = 3 eV, followed by -5→-9 gives Ephoton = 4 eV CLICKER QUESTION 3

Light consisting of photons A) 2 eV, 5 eV, 9 eV with a range of energies from B) 3 eV, 4 eV 1 to 7.5 eV passes through C) 0.5 eV, 3 eV, 4 eV this collection of objects. D) 4 eV, 7 eV E) 3 eV, 4 eV, 7 eV A collection of these What photon energies will be atoms is kept very absorbed from the light beam cold, so that all are in (“dark lines”)? the ground state.

NOTE: Excited states fall back to the ground state so quickly that we’ll never see “double transitions” like -9 → -5→ -2. Joseph von Fraunhofer Solar Quantizing Two Interacting Atoms

U for two atoms

If atoms don’t move too far from eqq,uilibrium, U looks like Uspring. Thus, energy levels should correspond to a quantized spring . . . Quantized Vibrational Energy Levels
