Answer 1

hydrogen emitting radiation?

1) explain how hydrogen atoms emit radiation? (2)

An excited electron drops from one orbit down to a lower energy orbit. It gives off a light photon which corresponds to its loss of energy.


2)why do hydrogen atoms emit radiation at specific frequencies? (3)

Because each of their orbitals is associated with a specific energy, when an electron drops down to a lower energy orbital, it give up a photon which is equal to the difference in energy between the two orbitals this photon has a specific frequency.

Answer 2

The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been nuclear bombs yet no longer hydrogen bombs. on the heart of each and every hydrogen bomb is a nuclear bomb which creates the temperature and tension mandatory for nuclear fusion. to boot to that radiation there's a BOATLOAD of radiation created with the aid of the fusion of hydrogen atoms.
