(b) Determine the wavelength () in SI units of these photons (electromagnetic radiation in the form of light). 6. Determine in units of eV the energy of a photon with a frequency of 4.61 x 1014 s-1 (Hz).
7. Can an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom absorb a photon with an energy of 6.5 x 10-21 Joule? (Base your answer on actual calculations.) 8. Determine the lowest frequency of electromagnetic radiation which is capable of generating free electrons in a gas mixture consisting of Argon and Neon. 9. Determine the wavelength of radiation emitted by atomic hydrogen on electron transition from n=7 to n=2. 10. Determine the orbiting velocity (ve) of an electron at n=2 in a hydrogen atom. 11. Determine for He+: (a) the radius of the electron orbit characterized by n = 3; (b) the wavelength of radiation emitted by a transition of the electron from a state characterized by n =5 to one with n= 2. 12. A lithium ion with a single orbiting electron is subjected to ultraviolet radiation ( = 3.7 11 x 10-8 m). On interaction of this radiation with the lithium ion, the radiation energy is transferred to the electron which as a result is ejected from orbit. As a free electron it exhibits a velocity of 103 km/s. Given this information, determine the principal quantum number (n) of the electron in the lithium ion prior to its interaction with the UV radiation.
