28. When a narrow beam of white light is normally incident on a diffraction grating, you observe that the light to either side forms a complete spectrum from blue to red. Then you see that the spectrum repeats, but this time you see blue, then green, yellow, and purple, green, etc. The purple seems to be a mixture of red and blue light together. As you work through the problem, you conclude that blue light of wavelength 420 nm has...

DopplerShift:TheHb(hydrogenbeta)line,whichisstronginthespectraof moderately hot stars, has a wavelength of 486.133 nm in the laboratory (i.e., at rest with respect to the observer). What wavelength (nm) would we observe the Hb line on Earth if it were emitted by a star: a) moving at a speed of 200 km/s toward Earth? b) moving at a speed of 300 km/s away from Earth?

To resolve details of a cell using an ordinary microscope, you must use a wavelength that is about the same size, or smaller, than the details of the cell you want to observe. Suppose you wamt to be able to see the ribosomes, which are about 22.0 nm in diameter. If you use an electron microscope, what is the minimum kinetic energy of the electrons? eV

Using your spectroscope, you observe a light source and see several strong, distinct lines. Is this source continuous or discrete? Given a line with a wavelength corresponding to 500 nm, calculate the energy of the emitted light. Given a photon emitted from a hydrogen lamp with a wavelength of 434 nm, identify the correct transition in the Balmer series. R_h = 2.18 *10^(-18) J. (Hint: it is in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum) Looking through your spectroscope, you...
