To solve the problem of finding the wavelength of the photon emitted when a proton traps a free electron to form a hydrogen atom at its lowest energy level, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Initial and Final Energy States**: - Initially, the free electron has zero kinetic energy and no potential energy. Thus, the initial energy \( E_1 \) is: \[ E_1 = 0 \, \text{eV} ...
