Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. The 21 cm radio wave emitted by hydrogen in interstellar space is due to the interaction called the hyperfine interaction in atomic hydrogen. The energy of the emitted wave is nearly
    1. 10–17 J
    2. 1 J
    3. 7 × 10–8 J
    4. 10–24 J
Correct Option: D

E = hv =
hc
=
6.6 × 10-34 × 3 × 108
λ0.21

=
6.6
× 10-24 = 0.94 × 10-24 J
