Have you ever chewed on a wintergreen mint in front of a mirror in the dark? If you have, you may have noticed some sparks of light coming out of your mouth as you chewed on the candy; and, without knowing it, you have experienced a physical phenomenon called triboluminescence. In this problem you will analyze some of the key elements of triboluminescence in wintergreen candies. Part C Image that the radiation emitted by the nitrogen at a frequency of 8.88×1014 Hz is absorbed by an electron in a molecule of methyl salicylate. As a result, the electron in the wintergreen oil molecule jumps to an excited state. Before returning to its ground state, the electron drops an intermediate energy level, releasing two-thirds of the energy previously absorbed and emitting a photon. What is the wavelength Xw of the photon emitted by the wintergreen oil molecule? Express your answer in nanometers to three significant figures. ► View Available Hint(s) Aw= Submit [-] ΑΣΦ ? nm

The energy flux from the sun has a peak value of around 1500 W/m2, and solar cells are around 15% efficient. Estimate the area needed to satisfy US energy needs using solar cells, using the estimates that there are about 350 million people in the US and that we use an average of 90 kW/person. Also assume that there are about 6 hours of "peak" sunlight per day. Answer in square kilometers (do not put units in your answer, however).
