1. Show your calculations for the followings;
e) Frequency(ν) of radiation of light whose wavelength(λ) is 460 nm.
ν = c/ λ = (3.0 x 108 m/s)/(460 x 10-9m) = 6.5 x 1014 s-1
f) energy of a photon of frequency of 5.20x1011 s-1.
E = hν = (6.63 x 10-34J-s)(5.20 x 1011 s-1) = 3.45 x 10-22J
g) wavelength of radiation with photons of energy 3.70x10-17 J.
E = (hc)/ λ ; λ = (hc)/E = (6.63x10-34J-s)(3.0x108m/s)/3.7x10-17J= 5.38x10-9m
h) final transition from n=2 state of hydrogen atom if the wavelength of light
corresponding to this transition is 486 nm. ΔE = -2.18x10-18J(1/n2f - 1/n2i)
ΔE= (hc)/ λ = -2.18x10-18J(1/n2f-1/22) = (6.63x10-34)(3.0x108)/486x10-9 = nf = 4
2. (a) What is the velocity of a neutron( mN = 1.67x10-24 g) which exhibit a

(b) Calculate the wavelength of an electron ( me = 9.11x10-28 g) which travels at
velocity of 500.0 m/s.
