In an analysis of the energy distribution of the x-ray back-scattered from a silver target, a peak is found in addition to the elastic peak of the x-ray at 8.040 keV. What is the energy of the additional peak?

absorption lines are where light has been absorbed by the atom thus you see a dip in the spectrum whereas.

emission spectra have spikes in the spectra due to atoms releasing photons at those wavelengths.

explanation:

t = 1/400 h   ⇔ 0.0025 h ⇔ 9s ⇔ 0.15 m

any of the answers are correct.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
