An incoming light beam has frequency 9.7 x 1014 Hz. (Use h= 6.626 x 10-34 J.s)
a. How much energy in Joules does it have?b. If the photons of this light beam are absorbed by a free electron, how much kinetic energy and speed will the free electron have?
What is the de Broglie wavelength of a particle, such as an electron, at rest?
O A.
Davisson and Germer measured this wavelength in their apparatus and found it to be around 10 10 m.
O B. The wavelength would be infinitely small and not measurable.
OC. The wavelength would be zero meters.
O D. This has no meaning. The de Broglie wavelength only applies to moving particles.
In the diagram, the energy difference between states A and B is twice the energy difference between states B and C. In a transition (quantum jump) from C to B, an electron emits a photon of wavelength 600 nm.
a. What is the wavelength emitted when the photon jumps from B to A?
b. When it jumps from C to A?
