(a)
To determine:
Find out the wavelength and identify the region of the spectrum of electromagnetic wave, whose energy of one photon is
Explanation of Solution
Putting these values in above equation you get
From the electromagnetic spectrum this wave length lies in the
(b)
To determine:
Find out the wave length and identify the region in spectrum lies whose one photon energy is
Explanation of Solution
Putting these values in above equation you get.
From the electromagnetic spectrum this wave length lies in the region of radio wave.
(c)
To determine:
Find out the wave length and identify the region in spectrum lies, whose one photon energy is
Explanation of Solution
Putting these values in above equation you get
From the spectrum this wave length lies in the region y-ray. So it belongs to y-rays.
(d)
To determine:
Find out the wave length and identify the region in spectrum lies. Whose one photon energy is
Explanation of Solution
This wave length lies in the region of radio wave. So it lies in the radio wave region.
Wave length is inversely proportional to energy of a photon.

- Light with a wavelength of 405 nm fell on a strontium surface, and electrons were ejected. If the speed of an ejected electron is 3.36 105 m/s, what energy was expended in removing the electron from the metal? Express the answer in joules (per electron) and in kilojoules per mole (of electrons).arrow_forward6.85 The visible lines in the hydrogen atom emission spectrum arise from transitions with a final state with n = 2. In what spectral region should we expect to find transitions that have a final state of n = 1 ?
