Answer: When the spectrum of light from the Sun is
Chapter , Problem 92AE(choose chapter or problem)
When the spectrum of light from the Sun is examined in high resolution in an experiment similar to that illustrated in Figure 6.9, dark lines are evident. These are called Fraunhofer lines, after the scientist who studied them extensively in the early nineteenth century. Altogether, about 25,000 lines have been identified in the solar spectrum between \(2950 \AA \text { and } 10,000 \AA\). The Fraunhofer lines are attributed to absorption of certain wavelengths of the Sun’s “white” light by gaseous elements in the Sun’s atmosphere. (a) Describe the process that causes absorption of specific wavelengths of light from the solar spectrum. (b) To determine which Fraunhofer lines belong to a given element, say, neon, what experiments could a scientist conduct here on Earth?

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Lattice energy is the amount of energy required to separate a mole of solid into its gaseous ions.
The value of the lattice energy is determined by two factors:
* The charge on the ions and the distance between them.
* As the lattice energy increases as charge increases
