The absorption of a photon of wavelength 4.67 ã 10-6 m is necessary for a co molecule to pass from the lowest vibrational energy level to the next highest vibrational level. if this higher vibrational level has an energy of 6.41 ã 10-20 j, what is the energy of the lowest vibrational level? (h = 6.626 ã 10-34 j â s; c = 3.00 x 108 m/s) show work.
a. 2.15 x 10-20 j
b. 3.20 x 10-20 j
c. 4.26 x 10-20 j
d. 1.60 x 10-20 j

A.  2.15x10⁻²⁰ J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is the Planck constant (h) multiplied by the velocity of the light (c = 3.00x10⁸ m/s) and divided by the wavelength (4.67x10⁻⁶ m), so:

E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴x3.00x10⁸)/(4.67x10⁻⁶)

E = 4.26x10⁻²⁰ J

This is the initial energy. The energy of the higher vibration level less the energy of the lowest vibration level must be equal to the initial energy of the photon so:

6.41x10⁻²⁰ - El = 4.26x10⁻²⁰

El = 6.41x10⁻²⁰ - 4.26x10⁻²⁰

El = 2.15x10⁻²⁰ J

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
