(a) What is the energy, in electron volts, of the photon emitted by the hydrogen atom? eV(b) What is the wavelength of the photon emitted by the hydrogen atom? m(c) What is the frequency of the photon emitted by the hydrogen atom? Hz
a)Suppose a hydrogen molecule in its ground state is dissociated by absorbing a photon of ultraviolet light, causing the two hydrogen atoms to fly apart. What photon energy will give each atom a speed of 19 km/s? The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.7×10^−27 kg
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A hydrogen atom on the surface of the sun radiates a photon with wavelength 1800 nm.
The sun has a radius, Tsun = 6.96 × 108 m, and a mass, Msun = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg.
(a) Calculate the change in wavelength when the photon is observed a long way -
effectively at an infinite distance from the sun (or any other massive object).
(b) How fast and in what direction would the observer have to move in order to cancel
this change in wavelength?
