An atom radiates 1.5 x \(10^{-19}\)J of energy when an electron jumps from one energy level to another. What is the wavelength of the emitted radiation? (Planck’s constant =6.6 x \(10^{-34}\)Js. Speed of light in air=3 x \(10^{8}ms^{-1}\)
A
1.32 x \(10^{-6}\)m
B
2.98 x \(10^{-6}\)m
C
3.32 x \(10^{-6}\)m
D
6.82 x \(10^{-6}\)m
correct option: a
\(E=\lambda v=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}={6.6 \times10^{-34}\times3\times10^8}{1.5\times10^{-19}}\=1.32\times10^{-6}\)
