CHAPTER 7 QUANTUM THEORY AND

ATOMIC STRUCTURE
The value for the speed of light will be 3.00x108 m/s except when more significant figures are necessary, in which cases,
2.9979x108 m/s will be used.

FOLLOW–UP PROBLEMS

7.1A Plan: Given the frequency of the light, use the equation c = λν to solve for wavelength.
Solution:
c 3.00x108 m /s ⎛ 1 nm ⎞⎟

7.1B Plan: Given the wavelength of the light, use the equation c = λν to solve for frequency. Remember that
wavelength must be in units of m in this equation.
Solution:
c ⎛⎜3.00x10 8 m/s ⎞⎛

This is infrared radiation.

7.2A Plan: Use the formula E = hν to solve for the frequency. Then use the equation c = λν to solve for the wavelength.
Solution:
E ⎛ 8.2x10 –19 J ⎞⎟
ν = = ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 1.2375x1015 = 1.2x1015 s–1

7.2B Plan: To calculate the energy for each wavelength we use the formula E = hc/ λ.
Solution:
