Explanation Given: The bond energy of the electron in ground state is B E = − E 0 . The kinetic energy of the ejected electron is K E = 2 E 0 . Formula used: The conservation of energy of electron is given by E = K E − B E The energy of the photon is given by E = h c λ Calculation: The conservation of energy of electron is calculated as follows: E = K E − B E = 2 E 0 − ( x

Particle Theory of Light

The particle theory of light was the proposal made by Newton in 1704 in his treatise Opticks. This is the most basic light theory, in which light is thought to be made up of microscopic particles known as "corpuscles" and that's why this particle theory …

Stopping Potential

In an experiment conducted by Heinrich Hertz, an apparatus was made where the incident light was made to fall on the metallic plate, it was discovered that metals emit electrons. The surface electrons are bound to metals with a minimum amount of energy a…

Quantization of Charges

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle either attached to an an atom or sticks to the nucleus of the atom. Electrons exert the negative charge that tries to balance the positive charge of the nucleus.

The electron beam in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) can have an energy ranging from 0.2 keV to 40 keV. (Note: an eV is an electronvolt, the measure of an amount of kinetic energy for a single electron. 1 eV = 1.60218×10−19 J and 1 J = 1 kg m2 s−2). What is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron beam in the SEM when the electrons are accelerated to kinetic energy of 6.6 keV?

The electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the E5 eV ev E₁ = = What is the (positive) energy and wavelength of the photon emitted? eV E photon λ = λ = = n₁ 5 state to the nf = nm Follow the same steps to find the wavelength of the photon emitted when the electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from the n = nm = 1 state. What are the energies of these two states? 13 state to the and n₁ = 4 state.

Photoelectrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 7.95 eV are emitted from a metal when it is illuminated by ultraviolet radiation wavelength of 1.25 × 10-1 m. What is the de Broglie wavelength (in nanometres) of an electron with a kinetic energy of 7.95 eV?
