Concept explainers
The wavelength of photon required to ionize a hydrogen atom.
Answer to Problem 55P
Solution:
The wavelength of photon required to ionize a hydrogen atom is .
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The kinetic energy of the ejected electron: 11.5 eV
Formula Used:
Where, is plank’s constant
KE is kinetic energy
E is ionization energy
Calculation:
The energy of the photon can be calculated, as the sum of ionization energy (E)and kinetic energy (KE)by using the formula
Now,
The wavelength of a photon can be found by using the formula
