Solved: The energy gap between the 6s and 5d levels in
Chapter 8, Problem 153P(choose chapter or problem)
The energy gap between the 6s and 5d levels in gold is \(4.32 \times 10^{−19}~\mathrm J\). Based on this information, predict the perceived color of gold vapor. (Hint: You need to be familiar with the notion of complementary color; see Figure 23.18.)
Figure 23.18 A color wheel with appropriate wavelengths. A compound that absorbs in the green region will appear red, the complementary color of green.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Here, we are going to determine the color of the gold vapor.
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye are called visible spectrum.
This visible spectrum have different wavelengths of different colors of light.
Now, calculate the wavelength of the gold vapor is as follows.
……………………………..(1)
E = Energy
h= Plank’s constant
c= Speed of the light.
= wavelength of the light.
