Question

Electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 242 nm is just sufficient to ionize the sodium atom. What is the ionization energy of sodium per atom?
  1. 494.5×106J/atom
  2. 3169.5×1010J/atom
  3. 5.85×1015J/atom
  4. 8.214×1019J/atom

A
494.5×106J/atom
B
3169.5×1010J/atom
C
8.214×1019J/atom
D
5.85×1015J/atom
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D 8.214×1019J/atom
Energy=hcλ=(6.63×1034×3×106)joule
=0.08219×1017joule/atom
=8.219×1019j/atom
8.214×1019j/atom
