Question 9. While most transition metals have work functions corresponding to photon frequencies that are larger (higher) than visible light, alkali and alkaline earth metals have low-energy work functions. For example, calcium has a work function of o = 4.3419×10-19 J. (a) What is the initial state n, for the hydrogen emission lines at visible wavelengths (i.e., those with n = 2) for the lowest-energy photon that would eject an electron from calcium? %3! (b) If the colors of the visible hydrogen emission lines (n; = 3 to n = 6) are red, green, blue and %3D violet, which colors are capable of ejecting the electrons from calcium? (c) The energy of the emitted photon you identified in part (a), is not identical to the workfunction of calcium. Therefore, the electron is ejected from the metal surface with some kinetic energy (i.e., energy is conserved in the photoelectric effect process). What would the velocity of the electron ejected from calcium (in meters per second)?
The bandgaps of silicon and gallium arsenide are 1.12 eV and 1.42 eV, respectively. What are the wavelengths of light that you would expect to be emitted from these devices based on direct recombination of holes and electrons? To what “colors” of light do these wavelengths correspond?
What is the energy of the photon that, whenabsorbed by a hydrogen atom, could cause anelectronic transition from the n = 3 state tothe n = 5 state?Answer in units of eV. What energy could cause an electronic transition from the n = 5 state to the n = 7state?Answer in units of eV.
