EST——Enlish for Science and Technology Example 0 A We made a hole in a cork and pushed into it a narrow glass tube. Then we pushed this into the neck of a bottle which we had filled with coloured water. When we did this, some of the coloured water went up into the tube. We marked the level of the coloured water in the tube. Then we put the bottle into a pan of hot water Almost at once, the water level in the tube went down a little, but then it started to go up, until the water poured out the top. B After a hole was made in a cork, a narrow glass tube was inserted and cork was inserted into the neck of a bottle filled with coloured water. On doing this, some of the coloured water rose in the tube . The level of the coloured water in the tube was marked. Then the bottle was placed into a hot water. Almost immediately, the water level in the tube fell slightly, but then it started to rise until the water overflowed. Example 1 A hydrogen atom can absorb only those photons of light which will cause the electron to jump from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. Thus the dark lines found on an absorption spectrum correspond to energy absorbed as an electron transitions from a lower to a higher energy level.Energy levels are also called quantum levels. Example 2 There is considerable current interest in the problem of transport through various nanoscale devices both from the fundamental and from applied points of view. In this connection, Kubo’s transport formulas have to a large extent been superseded by different formalisms in the spirit of Bardeen’s tunneling model. The Landauer formula (LF) and the Keldysh technique, quantum Langevin equations, C* algebraic formulas, and generalized scattering theory ideas have been d
