An electron makes a transition from a certain energy level Ek to the ground state E0. If the frequency of emission is 8.0 x 1014Hz The energy emitted is
-
A.
8.25 x 10-19J -
B.
5.28 x 10-19J -
C.
5.28 x 1019J -
D.
8.25 x 1019J
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Atomic emission and absorption of energy is usually in packets referred to as photon or quantum of energy of magnitude E =hf, where f is the frequency and h is the plancks constant
Energy emitted = hf
= 6.6 x 10-34 x 8.0 x 10-14
= 5.28 x 10-19J
