| English term or phrase: emitted a photon (Kontext) | The staff member [Frank Drake] from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia, had also chosen the microwave region of the spectrum and settled on the same frequency Cocconi and Morrison had chosen – 1420MHz. This frequency corresponded to a wavelength of 21cm, which is similar to the wavelength at which neutral hydrogen atoms periodically **emitted a photon** – Drake reasoned that any extraterrestrials who wanted to attract attention would associate with the most abundant atom in the universe.
Werden auf dieser Wellenlänge immer noch Photonen von Wasserstoffatomen abgestoßen? Ich wundere mich, dass hier die Vergangenheitsform steht... Bin leider überhaupt kein Chemiker... |
