  1. Question 1

    Q1. A photon of wavelength 400 nm is absorbed by a hydrogen atom. What is the energy of this photon?

    • A) 2.25 eV
    • B) 3.10 eV
    • C) 4.50 eV
    • D) 1.55 eV

    Answer: 3.10 eV

    Explanation: Energy = hc/λ = (6.63×10^-34 × 3×10^8)/(400×10^-9 × 1.6×10^-19) = 3.10 eV. Other options are incorrect calculations.
