Explain, in terms of atomic energy levels, how an atomic emission spectrum is formed

Absorbed energy results in electron excitation. De-excitation then occurs, whereby electrons fall back down to the ground state. Energy levels are quantised, therefore each line represents a specific frequen...

Can you give an example of using the chain rule for differentiation? Example: Let y=(6 + 2x + 2x^2)^3, find dy/dx.

The chain rule is given by dy/dx= (dy/du)(du/dx). If we set u=6+2x+2x 2 then, y=u 3 thus, dy/dx=(3u 2 )(2+4x) = (3(6+2x+2x 2 ) 2 )(2+4x). Example does not ask to simplify expression or evaluate at any partic...
