Other / Mixed: Atoms & Bohr Links
In a Frank-Hertz experiment, an electron of energy 5.6 eV passes through mercury vapour and emerges with an energy 0.7 eV. The minimum wavelength of photons emitted by mercury atoms is close to:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Energy given to a mercury atom .
- The atom emits this as a photon:
- So the answer is (b) 250 nm.
