Homework Statement


So I have this homework question and the answer that was given to me to check the answer that I have does not match with my answer. The question I have to complete is shown below:
question 8.JPG


The answer given to me is D, 6.6eV

Homework Equations



[tex]\Delta[/tex]t[tex]\Delta[/tex]E = [STRIKE]h[/STRIKE]/2

Rearranged for [tex]\Delta[/tex]E:

[tex]\Delta[/tex]E = [STRIKE]h[/STRIKE]/2[tex]\Delta[/tex]t

The Attempt at a Solution



When I attempt the question my answer is 65.8eV, approximately 66eV. This matches with selection c, which makes me believe that the answer given is incorrect and my method is correct.

If someone could clarify this uncertainty (no pun intended), that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
