    What Speed Would an N2 Molecule Have with Photon Energy of Various Wavelengths?

    We aren't given a temperature of N2. We don't know velocity, so I don't see how we can use debroglie formula to solve for wavelength. Wavelength is given in the problem, should it be converted to a different wavelength?

    What Speed Would an N2 Molecule Have with Photon Energy of Various Wavelengths?

    1. Homework Statement Consider a gas-phase N2 molecule. It's RMS speed is given by Vrms = (3kT/m)^(1/2) What speed would the gas molecule have if it had the same energy as a photon of the following wavelengths of IR, visible, UV and X-Ray electromagnetic radiation? lambda =...

    Chemistry How Fast Would a Nitrogen Molecule Travel with Photon Energy?

    Homework Statement Consider a gas-phase N2 molecule. It's RMS speed is given by Vrms = (3kT/m)^(1/2) What speed would the gas molecule have if it had the same energy as a photon of the following wavelengths of IR, visible, UV and X-Ray electromagnetic radiation? lambda = 1.000E4nm...
