The energy associated with the emitted photon when a mercury atom changes from one state to another is 3.3 ev. calculate the frequency of the photon.


[e = 1.6 x 10-19c; h = 6.6 x 10-13js]
A
1.3 x 10-15 Hz
B
3.1 x 1052 Hz
C
3.2 x 10-53 Hz
D
8.0 x 1014 Hz
correct option: d

E = hf

f = (E)/h

∴ f = (3.3 x 1.6 x 10-19)/6.6 x 10-34

= 0.8 x 1015 = 8.0 x 1014 Hz
