MCQ
An electron passing through a potential difference of $4.9 V$ collides with a mercury atom and transfers it to the first excited state. What is the wavelength of a photon corresponding to the transition of the mercury atom to its normal state.......$\mathop A\limits^o $
  • A
    $2050 $
  • B
    $2240 $
  • $2525 $
  • D
    $2935 $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$2525 $
c
(c) $\frac{{hc}}{\lambda } = E  = eV$

$ \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{{hc}}{{eV}} - \frac{{6.6 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} \times 4.9}} = 2525\mathop A\limits^ \circ $
