The wavelength of a photon needed to remove a proton from a nucleus which is bound to the nucleus with 1MeV energy is nearly

A

`1.2nm`

B

`1.2xx10^(-3)nm`

C

`1.2xx10^(-6) nm`

D

`.12xx10^(1)nm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Energy `E=1MeV=10^(6)eV , hc=1240 eV nm`
`E=(hc)/lambda or lambda=(hc)/E=(1240 eVnm)/(10^(6)eV)=1.24xx10^(-3)nm`
