If an electron emits 3 eV of energy, what is the corresponding wavelength of the emitted photon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The wavelength of the emitted photon is 413.6 nm

Explanation:

Given;

energy of the emitted photon, E = 3 eV = 3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

speed of light, c  = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The energy of the emitted photon is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f is the frequency of the light = c / λ

λ is the wavelength

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda = \frac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34})(3*10^8)}{3*1.602*10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda = 4.136 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\\lambda = 413.6 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\\lambda = 413.6 \ nm[/tex]

Therefore, the wavelength of the emitted photon is 413.6 nm
