Expert Solution

a) Given frequency = 7.10*10 5 cm-1

           E = hc(wave number) = 6.626*10-34 J.sec * 3*108 m/sec * 7.10*103 m-1 = 1.41*10-21 J(ionization energy)

b) For the given wave length , energy associated = E = hc/wave length

        = (6.626*10-34 J.sec) (3*108 m/sec) / 4*10-9 m

        = 4.96*10-17 J

Thus , K.E of ejected electrons = -1.41*10-21 + 4.96*10-17 = 4.96*10-17

deBroglie's wave length = h / (2*m*KE)1/2 = 6.626*10-34 / (2*4.96*10-17* 9.1*10-31 kg)1/2

                                       = 0.0696 nm
