Homework Statement
a) What is the minimum kinetic energy in electron volts that an electron must have to be able to ionize a hydrogen atom (that is, remove the electron from being bound to the proton)? I got the answer here which is 13.6 ev
b) If electrons of energy 12.8 eV are incident on a gas of hydrogen atoms in their ground state, what are the energies of the photons that are emitted by the excited gas?
b-1)Energy of highest-energy photon: I got the answer here which is 12.8
b-2)Energy of next highest-energy photon:
b-3)Energy of next highest-energy photon:
b-4)Energy of next highest-energy photon:
b-5)Energy of next highest-energy photon:
b-6)Energy of lowest-energy photon:
I Just need help with ( b-2 to b-6) Thanks
