Try this first
An electron is excited to a higher energy level by absorbing a photon of energy 3.2 eV. What is the energy of the photon in joules?.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- 5.12 x 10^-19 J
Explanation
Why this works
This question assesses the understanding of photon energy in the context of electron excitation. The conversion from electron volts to joules is essential, and using the correct conversion factor shows the ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios.
