JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    An important spectral emission line has a wavelength of 21 cm. The corresponding photon energy is [MP PMT 1993]

    A)            \[5.9\times {{10}^{-4}}eV\]   

    B)            \[5.9\times {{10}^{-6}}eV\]

    C)            \[5.9\times {{10}^{-8}}eV\]   

    D)            \[11.8\times {{10}^{-6}}eV\] \[(h=6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}Js;\ \ c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}\times 6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}}{0.21\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=5.9\times {{10}^{-6}}eV\]
