a 6. Consider a photon that is barely capable of causing a photoelectric effect when it strikes a sodium plate having a work function of 2.55 eV. (a) Find the minimum energy level n for a hydrogen atom that can be ionized by such a photon, and the speed of the released electron far from the nucleus. [2] (b) Suppose a hydrogen atom in the n = 2 energy level absorbs such a photon. If it subsequently emits a single photon, what are the possible wavelengths it can take? [2]
