    The wavelength of a photon needed to remove a proton from a nucleus which is bound to the nucleus with 1 MeV energy is nearly

    A) 1.2 nm

    B) 1.2\[\times {{10}^{-3}}\]nm

    C) 1.2 \[\times {{10}^{-6}}\] nm

    D) 1.2 \[\times \] 10 nm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Option [b] is correct.
    Explanation: Energy of the photon must be equal to the binding energy of proton
    So, energy of photon = 1 MeV
    \[={{10}^{6}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{19}}\operatorname{J}\]
    \[\lambda =\frac{hc}{\operatorname{E}}=\frac{6.63\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-13}}}=\frac{6.63\times 3}{1.60}\times {{10}^{-26+13}}\]\[=\frac{19.89}{1.60}\times {{10}^{-13}}=12.4\times {{10}^{-13}}=1.24\times {{10}^{1}}\times {{10}^{-13}}\]\[=12.4\times {{10}^{-9}}\times {{10}^{-3}}=1.24\times {{10}^{-3}}\]nm
