Air Force, facing fighter pilot shortage, offers retention bonuses of up to $225,000. The Air Force estimates that without a serious recruiting effort, it will be short 700 fighter pilots eight years from now -- so it is offering retention bonuses of up to $225,000 to stay in the service for an additional nine years. The deadline to respond to this unusual help wanted ad is Sept 30.
A community for students. Which energy transition may take place in the atom if its electron has absorbed a photon? A.n = 5 to n = 1 B.n = 3 to n = 2 C.n = 5 to n = 2 D.n = 1 to n = 3 E.n = 3 to n = 1 Help me!!! if the electron ABSORBS a photon, that means it must GAIN energy. when electrons RELEASE photons, they drop in energy, which is why we see colors in an emission test.
The energy of emitted photons equals the energy that was originally absorbed by the electron minus any other lost energy. Thus, the energy of photons can vary to a great degree since it is dependent upon the energy of source electrons. For instance, the electrons may come from radio waves, which contain much less energy than do microwaves, infrared rays, or visible light, or from a source that contains a much greater amount of energy, such as ultraviolet light or X-rays.
