Quantum mechanics predicts that the energy of the ground state of the H atom is 13.6eV .

Express your answer in meters per second (ms1) and miles per hour (milesh1) . (c) Calculate the temperature required to ionize a H atom in its ground state by thermal excitation. (Hint: Recall the criterion for thermal excitation of an oscillator in Planck’s theory of blackbody radiation is that hvkBT .)
