Sample questions for Lecture 3:

1. Do the following conversions:

a. 57.3 m2 = ? ft2 d. 97.8 kg/m3 = ? lbs/ft3
3 3
b. 454 ft = ? m e. 5620 cm3 = ? ft3
c. 8.37 lbs/ft3 = ? kg/m3 f. 57.8 J = ? cal
Hint: 1.00m = 3.28ft, 1.000kg = 2.205-lbs, 1cal = 4.184J (exactly)

2. Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelength?
a. Gamma rays (≈ 10-12 J) b. Microwave (≈ 10-26 J) c. Visible light (≈ 10-19 J)

3. Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?
a. X rays (≈ 10-10 m) b. Radio waves (≈ 106 m) c. Infrared radiation (≈ 10-5 m)

4. Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the greatest energy?
a. Red light (≈ 700 nm) b. Blue light (≈ 400 nm) c. Yellow light (≈ 600 nm)

5. Two of the emission wavelengths in the hydrogen emission spectrum are 656 nm and 434
nm. One of these is due to the n = 5 to n = 2 and the other is n = 3 to n = 2 transition. Which
wavelength goes with which transition?

6. Energy of two of the hydrogen emission spectra are 1.6410-18 J and 2.0410-18 J. One of
these is due to the n = 4 to n = 1 and the other is n = 2 to n = 1 transition. Which energy goes
with which transition?
