A proton of wavelength \(\lambda_o\) is emitted when an electron in an atom makes a transition from a level of energy 2E. If the electron transits from \(\frac{4}{3}E_k\) to E level, determine the wavelength of the photon that would be emitted

  • A. 3\(\lambda_o\)
  • B. 2\(\lambda_o\)
  • C. \(\frac{3}{4}\)\(\lambda_o\)
  • D. \(\frac{1}{3}\)\(\lambda_o\)

Correct Answer: D. \(\frac{1}{3}\)\(\lambda_o\)

Explanation

D. \(\frac{1}{3}\)\(\lambda_o\)
