b. An electron and a photon has the same wavelength of 0.21 nm. Calculate the momentum and energy (in eV) of the electron and the photon. (Given c =3.00x108 m s-1, h =6.63 x 1034 J s, me=9.11 x 10-31 kg, mp=1.67 x 1027 kg and e=1.60x1019 C)
An X-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.999 nmnm strikes a surface. The emitted electron has a kinetic energy of 990 eV. What is the binding energy of the electron in kJ/molkJ/mol? [Note that KEKE = 12mv212mv2 and 1 electron volt (eVeV) = 1.602×10−19J1.602×10−19J.] Express your answer using three significant figures.
A mercury atom emits light at many wavelengths, two of which are at (1) 404.7 nm and (2) 435.8 nm. Both of these transitions are to the same final state. Determine the energy of each emitted wavelength (in J).
