A beam of identical neutral particles with spin-1/2 travels along the y-axis. The beam passes through a series of two Stern-Gerlach spin-analyzing magnets, each of which is designed to analyze the spin component along the z-axis. The first Stern-Gerlach analyzer allows only particles with spin up (along the z-axis) to pass through. The second Stern-Gerlach analyzer allows only particles with spin down (along the z-axis) to pass through. The particles travel at speed v between the two analyzers, which are separated by a region of length d in which there is a uniform magnetic field B0 pointing in the x-direction.

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

Your science teacher brings in a speaker to talk to your class about climate change. during the session, students ask a few questions. which questions are related to the current evidence on climate change
