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.
An electron with kinetic energy of 12.50 eV hits a hydrogen atom in its ground state. (a)Sketch the hydrogen energy level diagram, showing the transition to all possible excited state. (b) Find all the possible kinetic energies of the outgoing electron. (c) In the same sketch as part (a), draw all possible transitions when the atom relaxes and emits a photon. (d) Find the wavelengths of all the possible emission photons.
Using your knowledge of these equations: Energy unit conversions between electron volts (eV) and joules, (J); Einstein's photon energy equation; Compton's momentum equation; de Broglie's wavelength equation Quantitatively compare a 3.1 eV photon and a 3.1 eV electron by completing the following data table (attached). For any required calculation, be sure to include both your calculation and your answer.   Assume: ℎ=6.63 × 10−34?•?; ?=3.00 × 108?/?; ??=9.11 × 10−31??   I attached my answers but am unsure. Especially about the electron speed, wavelengeth and momentum.
