A diatomic molecule moving at a speed u ...

A diatomic molecule moving at a speed u absorbs a photon of wavelenght `lambda` and then dissociates into two identical atoms. One of the atoms is found to be moving with a speed v in a direction perpendicualr to the initial direction of motion of the molecule. Take mass of the molecule to be M and calculate the binding energy of the molecule. Assume that momentum of absorbed photon is negligible compared to that of the molecule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`BE=(hc)/(lambda)-(1)/(2)Mu^(2)-(1)/(2)Mv^(2)`
