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.
Electron capture is sometimes included as a type of beta decay, because the basic nuclear process, mediated by the weak force, is the same. In electron capture, an inner atomic electron is captured by a proton in the nucleus, transforming it into a neutron, and an electron neutrino is released. Fermi transition is a beta decay in which the spins of the emitted electron (positron) and anti-neutrino (neutrino) couple to total spin, leading to an angular momentum change between the initial and final states of the nucleus (assuming an allowed transition).
