View attachment 38682I cant understand the wording of this question.Is there anyone who can explain me the answer of this question?

In a line spectrum you can see the lines ...each line shows an energy level which is infact a discrete energy level ie having a particular value.When an electron moves from the lower shell to a higher or vice virsa there's a change in energy and the energy change is also discrete, so these discrete energy changes provides the evidence that energy levels were discrete hence we came to know about the existence of discrete electron energy levels in the atom.

Hi ,
mass of gamma to be used is mass of electron , but how ? it should be as i guess 2* mass of electron as there are 2 moles
Gamma particles have no mass and that 2 means 2 gamma particles not 2 moles gamma particles like in a a chemical equation. Gamma particles are electromagnetic waves (photons) hence have no rest mass like other electromagnetic waves. You cannot use stoichiometrice ratio like in chemistry and electrons and gamma particles are different. Electrons exhibit wave-particle duality unlike gamma particles.

ITS 3000 Rev per min not 6000 and the answer in book is 10ms /cm
o_O Oops my bad, sorry, i did most of the calculations wrong :p 3000/60 = 50 revs per second. 1/50 = 0.02s or 20ms. So yeah, 10ms/cm would result in the pulse occupying two cm on the horizontal axis.
