Question
This is a physics word problem with multiple parts that need to be answered so technically it is 1 question not multiple. Please show all work and use simple terminology. Thank you!!!
Directions: Show all work, including equations and substitutions with units...
An electron in a mercury atom makes a direct transition from the h-level to the b-
level. The photon that is emitted becomes incident on a lithium plate with a work
function of 2.9 eV.
1. What is the energy of the photon that is emitted?
2. What is the frequency of this emitted photon?
3. What type of electromagnetic wave is the emitted photon?
BONUS
When the emitted photon hits the lithium plate, an electron is emitted (due to the photoelectric
effect)
4. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron in Joules?
5. What is the speed of the photoelectron? (note mass of an electron is 9.11 x 1031 kg)
