Question:
In a Frank-Hertz experiment, an electron of energy $5.6 \mathrm{eV}$ passes through mercury vapour and emerges with an energy $0.7 \mathrm{eV}$. The minimum wavelength of photons emitted by mercury atoms is close to :
Correct Option: , 4
Solution:
(4) Using, wavelength, $\lambda=\frac{12375}{\Delta \mathrm{E}}$
or, $\lambda=\frac{12375}{4.9}=250 \mathrm{~nm}$
