Consider the electron of a Li2+ ion that undergoes a transition from a higher energy state n to its adjacent lower energy state n – 1 (e.g. n = 2→1, 3→2, 4→3, etc) and emits a photon. Suppose the emitted photon is used to strike the surface of potassium, which has a threshold frequency of 5.464 × 10^14 s–1.a) Whatisthemaximuminitialquantumnumber,n, that is required in order to emit a photon with high enough energy to generate a photocurrent from the metal surface?b) Usingthenvaluesolvedinpart(a), calculate the maximum speed of the photoelectron from potassium. If you couldn’t solve for n in part (a), use n = 3.
Why does the energy of characteristic x rays become increasingly greater for heavier atoms?
What would the wavelength in m of the emitted radiation be if a hydrogen atom was placed in an external uniform magnetic field of 240 T and transitioned from a spin-up to a spin-down state?
