How fast must an electron be moving if all its kinetic energy is lost to a single x-ray photon (a) at the high end of the x-ray electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of 1.00 × 10−8 m and (b) at the low end of the x-ray electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of 1.00 × 10−13 m?
The energy in eV of a photon, if the frequency of the radiation is 7 × 10¹ Hz is 4.0 eV 3.9 eV (a) (c) (b) 2.9 eV (d) 1.9 eV
(a) A certain X-ray photon has a wavelength of 18 nm. Calculate the frequency (υ) of this type of radiation. The speed of light, c = 2.998 x 108 m/s (b) Do you expect the frequency of photon of blue color light to be greater than, less than, or the same as the frequency of this X-ray photon? Explain your reasoning.
