Problem 19CQ
Figure Q29.20 shows the energy levels of a hypothetical atom.
a. What minimum kinetic energy (in eV) must an electron have to collisionally excite this atom and cause the emission of a 620 nm photon? Explain.
b. Can an electron with K = 6 eV cause the emission of 620 nm light? If so, what is the final kinetic energy of the electron? If not, why not?
c. Can a 6 eV photon cause the emission of 620 nm light from this atom? Why or why not?
d. Can a 7 eV photon cause the emission of 620 nm light from this atom? Why or why not?
