An in-depth exploration of max planck's and albert einstein's theories on quantum mechanics and the photoelectric effect. Learn about the concept of energy quanta, the role of photons, and the relationship between energy and light. Understand the significance of these theories in the context of atomic structure and the behavior of electrons.

Auroras result from emissions of photons in the upper atmosphere (above 80 km/50 miles), from ionized N 2 atoms regaining an electron, and O 2 and N (^2) atoms returning from an excited state to ground state. Particles accelerated from solar winds transfer energy and excited these species; excitation energy is lost by the emission of a photon of light, or by collision with another atom or molecule:

It is a UVB absorber, meaning that it can absorb wavelengths between 290Ͳ320 nm. Calculate the amount of energy (in kJ/mol) that it is absorbed assuming 313 nm.
