Photoelectron spectroscopy studies of silicon atoms excited by X-rays with wavelength 9.890 × 10-1º m show four peaks in which the electrons have speeds 2.097 × 107 m s-!, 2.093 x 107 m s-!, 2.014 × 107 m s', and 1.971 x 107 m s-1. (Recall that 1 J = 1 kg m² s-2.) (a) Calculate the ionization energy of the electrons in each peak. (b) Assign each peak to an orbital of the silicon atom.
