    The ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 volt. In the lowest energy level, this atom is ionised by absorbing a photon of\[800\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. The kinetic energy of the released electron will be:

    A)  15.51 eV

    B)  2.91 eV

    C)  13.6 eV

    D)  1.91 Ev

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The energy of incident photon in joules is \[=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{-8}}}{800\times {{10}^{-10}}}\] \[=2.4825\times {{10}^{-18}}J\] The energy of the photon in eV is \[=\frac{2.4825\times {{10}^{-18}}}{1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}=15.51\,eV\] The minimum energy needed to ionize the atom is = 13.6 eV Hence, KE, the emitted electron \[=1.91\,eV\]
