The wavelength of the emitted photon from the hydrogen molecule H2 is 2.30 μm (micrometers) when the vibrational quantum number decreases by one.
What is the effective "spring constant" for the H2 molecule in N/m ?What is the "zero point" energy (in eV) of the molecular vibration?
Question 9.
While most transition metals have work functions corresponding to photon frequencies that are
larger (higher) than visible light, alkali and alkaline earth metals have low-energy work functions.
For example, calcium has a work function of o = 4.3419×10-19 J.
(a) What is the initial state n, for the hydrogen emission lines at visible wavelengths (i.e., those
with n = 2) for the lowest-energy photon that would eject an electron from calcium?
%3!
(b) If the colors of the visible hydrogen emission lines (n; = 3 to n = 6) are red, green, blue and
%3D
violet, which colors are capable of ejecting the electrons from calcium?
(c) The energy of the emitted photon you identified in part (a), is not identical to the
workfunction of calcium. Therefore, the electron is ejected from the metal surface with some
kinetic energy (i.e., energy is conserved in the photoelectric effect process). What would the
velocity of the electron ejected from calcium (in meters per second)?
The energy levels of the Bohr model for the atom can be expressed mathematically as En
-13.6 eV, where Z is the atomic number, and n is the quantum number. This model is reasonably accurate for hydrogen and for singly ionized helium.
The photon associated with the transition of an electron from the ground state to the first excited state in singly ionized helium has a different wavelength than that associated with a similar transition in hydrogen. Which of the following correctly describes the wavelengths of these two photons in terms of the energy level diagrams for hydrogen and helium?
The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a longer wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.
B
The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a shorter wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.
The photon…
