1. Calculate the Energy of the Emitted Electron:

The energy of the emitted electron is given by the formula:

E = h² / (2mλ²)

where:

  • h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js (Planck's constant)
  • m = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg (mass of the electron)
  • λ = 3.3 × 10⁻¹⁰ m (wavelength of the electron)

Substitute the values:

E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)² / [2 × 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ × (3.3 × 10⁻¹⁰)²]

First, calculate the numerator:

h² = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)² = 4.39 × 10⁻⁶⁷

Next, calculate the denominator:

2mλ² = 2 × 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ × (3.3 × 10⁻¹⁰)² = 1.98 × 10⁻⁴⁹

Now, divide:

E = 4.39 × 10⁻⁶⁷ / 1.98 × 10⁻⁴⁹ = 2.22 × 10⁻¹⁸ J

2. Find the Minimum Energy Required for Escape (Ionization Energy):

The ionization energy of hydrogen in its ground state is:

Eionization = 13.6 eV

Convert this to joules:

Eionization = 13.6 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸ J

3. Find the Ratio of Energy Absorbed:

The total energy absorbed by the electron is the sum of the ionization energy and the kinetic energy (E) of the emitted electron. The ratio of the total absorbed energy to the ionization energy is:

Ratio = (Eionization + E) / Eionization

Substitute the values:

Ratio = (2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸ + 2.22 × 10⁻¹⁸) / 2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸

Simplify:

Ratio = 4.4 × 10⁻¹⁸ / 2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸ ≈ 2.02

Final Answer:

The nearest integer is: 2
