Use the kinetic theory of gases to explain why the pressure inside a container increases when the temperature of the air inside it rises. Assume that the volume of the container remains constant.

The kinetic theory of gases states that a gas consists of many molecules in constant motion. A rise in temperature increases the mean speed of these molecules, and therefore their momentum (=mv).

T...

An atom can become excited by the absorption of photons. Explain why only photons of certain frequencies cause excitation in a particular atom.

Electrons in an atom occupy discrete energy levels. An electron can only be excited to another level if it absorbs the exact amount of energy as the difference between the two levels. Therefore the energy...
