(4) (a) How many microns is the wavelength of a photon radiated by a hydrogen atom in which the
electron jumps from the n = 5 orbit to the n = 6 orbit?
(b) The Sun has a temperature of 5770 K, and radiates a thermal spectrum. How many nanometers (nm)
is the wavelength of its maximum intensity? Remember that 1 nm = 10-9 m.
(c) How many nanometers (nm) is the maximum wavelength of a photon that will ionize any hydrogen
atom? Recall that 1 nm = 10-9 m.
(d) If one wanted to use an electron microscope to resolve an object at a distance scale of
Ar = 2 x 10-10 m, what minimum kinetic energy (in eV) would the electrons need? Assume
non-relativistic motion.
(e) Light from the Sun arrives at Earth as plane electromagnetic waves with an intensity of 1340 W/m?.
What is the maximum value of the magnetic field of this light?
