75
Q

What is the wavelength interval of the colour violet?

A

~ 490–450 nm

76
Q

Using the colours of red green and yellow, order these colours from highest to lowest energy

A

Waves with a shorter wavelength have more energy. Since red has the longest wavelength it would be the lowest energy, followed by yellow, and green would have the most energy

77
Q

The longest wavelength for the Balmer series of spectral lines for hydrogen (transitions to n=2) corresponds to the transition the n=3 to n=2 levels. Explain why this is to be expected

A

Because the drop in energy from n=3 to n=2 is small, very little energy would be released in the emitted photon. Because the energy released will be low, the wavelength will also be low resulting in the longest wavelength of the Balmer series

78
Q

The shortest wavelength of the Balmer series of the spectral lines for hydrogen (transitions to n=2) corresponds to the n=infinity to the n=2 levels. Explain why this might be expected

A

The transition from a n=infinity to n=2 is relatively large resulting in a high energy photon to be emitted. If the energy of the photon is the highest, the wavelength will be the shortest of the Balmer series

79
Q

What are 2 possible reasons for a colour to show a particular colour?

A

The colour of the solutions were either caused by the colour of the object being reflected or the complementary colour being absorbed
