2.54 If the photon of the wavelength 150 pm strikes an atom and one of it's inner bound electrons are ejected out with a velocity of 1.5 × 107 m s–1, calculate the energy with which it is bound to the nucleus.
The energy of the incident photon (E) is given by,
The energy of the electron ejected (K.E)
= 10.2480 × 10–17 J
= 1.025 × 10–16 J
Hence, the energy with which the electron is bound to the nucleus can be obtained as:
= E – K.E
= 13.252 × 10–16 J – 1.025 × 10–16 J
= 12.227 × 10–16 J
