The correct Answer is:
To calculate Planck's constant (H) based on the given information, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Energy Equation The energy of the photons can be expressed using the equation: \[ E = K.E + W \] Where: - \( E \) is the energy of the photon, - \( K.E \) is the kinetic energy of the liberated electron, - \( W \) is the work function of the hydrogen atom. ### Step 2: Calculate the Energy of the Photons The energy of a photon can also be expressed in terms of its wavelength (\( \lambda \)): \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] Where: - \( h \) is Planck's constant, - \( c \) is the speed of light (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s), - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength in meters. ### Step 3: Set Up the Equations For the two wavelengths given: 1. For \( \lambda_1 = 800 \, \text{Å} = 800 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \): \[ E_1 = K.E_1 + W \] \[ E_1 = \frac{hc}{800 \times 10^{-10}} \] \[ K.E_1 = 1.8 \, \text{eV} \] 2. For \( \lambda_2 = 700 \, \text{Å} = 700 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \): \[ E_2 = K.E_2 + W \] \[ E_2 = \frac{hc}{700 \times 10^{-10}} \] \[ K.E_2 = 4 \, \text{eV} \] ### Step 4: Write the Equations From the above, we can write: 1. \( \frac{hc}{800 \times 10^{-10}} = 1.8 + W \) (Equation 1) 2. \( \frac{hc}{700 \times 10^{-10}} = 4 + W \) (Equation 2) ### Step 5: Subtract the Equations Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate \( W \): \[ \frac{hc}{700 \times 10^{-10}} - \frac{hc}{800 \times 10^{-10}} = (4 - 1.8) \] \[ \frac{hc}{700 \times 10^{-10}} - \frac{hc}{800 \times 10^{-10}} = 2.2 \] ### Step 6: Factor Out \( hc \) Factoring out \( hc \): \[ hc \left( \frac{1}{700 \times 10^{-10}} - \frac{1}{800 \times 10^{-10}} \right) = 2.2 \] ### Step 7: Simplify the Left Side Calculate the left side: \[ \frac{1}{700 \times 10^{-10}} - \frac{1}{800 \times 10^{-10}} = \frac{800 - 700}{700 \times 800} \times 10^{10} = \frac{100}{560000} \times 10^{10} \] \[ = \frac{1}{5600} \times 10^{10} \] ### Step 8: Substitute Back Now substitute back into the equation: \[ hc \left( \frac{1}{5600} \times 10^{10} \right) = 2.2 \] \[ hc = 2.2 \times 5600 \times 10^{-10} \] ### Step 9: Calculate Planck's Constant Convert \( 2.2 \) eV to Joules (1 eV = \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) J): \[ hc = 2.2 \times 5600 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^{-10} \] \[ hc = 2.2 \times 5600 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-29} \] \[ hc = 6.57 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Joule second} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of Planck's constant \( h \) is approximately: \[ h \approx 6.57 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Joule second} \]

To calculate Planck's constant (H) based on the given information, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Energy Equation The energy of the photons can be expressed using the equation: \[ E = K.E + W \] Where: - \( E \) is the energy of the photon, - \( K.E \) is the kinetic energy of the liberated electron, ...
