To find the wavelength of a photon needed to remove a proton from a nucleus that is bound with 1 MeV of energy, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the energy from MeV to Joules The energy of the proton is given as 1 MeV. We need to convert this energy into Joules. \[ 1 \text{ MeV} = 1 \times 10^6 \text{ eV} \] ...
