Question on: WAEC Physics - 1997
An atom radiates 1.5 x (10^{-19})J of energy when an electron jumps from one energy level to another. What is the wavelength of the emitted radiation? (Planck’s constant =6.6 x (10^{-34})Js. Speed of light in air=3 x (10^{8}ms^{-1})
A
1.32 x \(10^{-6}\)m
B
2.98 x \(10^{-6}\)m
C
3.32 x \(10^{-6}\)m
D
6.82 x \(10^{-6}\)m

Correct Option: A
(E=\lambda v=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\Rightarrow\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}={6.6 \times10^{-34}\times3\times10^8}{1.5\times10^{-19}}=1.32\times10^{-6})
