A photon interacts with a ground state electron in a hydrogen atom and is absorbed. The electron is ejected from the atom and exhibits a de Broglie wavelength of 0.468×10−10 m. Determine the frequency (in hz) of the interacting photon.

Answer 1

frequency(wavelength)=speed of light.
solve for frquency.

Answer 2

1.67E17

Answer 3

First find: E = P^2/2Me + E(first ionization)

P= h / BroglieWavelength

E(first ionization)=21.7*10^-19

Me= 9.1*10^-31

h= 6.626*10^-34

Once E is found the find frequency:

frequency(hz)= E / h

Answer 4

1.71*10^17
Right answer
