Homework Statement
An alpha particle: He++ captures an electron of a given kinetic energy. To conserve energy, it emits light, hf. How would one calculate the frequency?
Homework Equations
E=hf
En = (Z^2 *-13.6eV)/(n^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
Calculate En. Then KE = Photon + En. Solve for v given KE and En?
