When an atom or molecule absorbs an X-ray photon, an electron can be ejected. The kinetic energy (KE) of the electron depends upon the photon energy (hν) and the binding energy (BE) of the electron (i.e., the energy required to remove the electron from the surface). By measuring ...
According to Bohr's model, what happens to the electron when a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light of sufficient energy? Bohr's theory of the hydrogen atom assumed that (a) electromagnetic radiation is given off when the electrons move...
How do you determine the energy of an electron with n = 8 in a hydrogen atom using the Bohr model? How does the photoelectric effect concept relate to the Bohr model? Does it support or disprove the model? Do we still use the Bohr model?
You claim first of all that if an atom is in a stationary state, the electron revolves periodically but does not emit light, when, according to Maxwell's theory, it must. Next, the electron is said to jump from one orbit to the next and to emit radiation. Is this jump supposed to ...
It may be interesting to discuss the foregoing results from a different view point - that of the photon picture: Is it possible that one of the two observers we have been considering counts a number of photons, while the other, looking at the same charge, does not enc...
