(b) (i) Ei = 5.2 (eV) (1) × 1.6 × 10–19
= 8.3 × 10–19(J) (1)
(allow e.c.f. if incorrect value of energy in eV)
(ii) (f = gives) f = (1)
= 4.9 × 1014 Hz (1)
(iii) (ΔE = hf gives) E = 6.63 × 10–34 × 4.9 × 1014 (1)

(a) (i) when electrons/atoms are in their lowest/minimum energy (state) or
7 most stable (state) they (are in their ground state)

(ii) in either case an electron receives (exactly the right amount of) energy
excitation promotes an (orbital) electron to a higher energy/up a level
ionisation occurs (when an electron receives enough energy) to leave
the atom

(b) electrons occupy discrete energy levels
and need to absorb an exact amount of/enough energy to move to a higher level
photons need to have certain frequency to provide this energy or e = hf
energy required is the same for a particular atom or have different energy levels
all energy of photon absorbed
in 1 to 1 interaction or clear a/the photon and an/the electrons

(c) energy = 13.6 × 1.60 × 10−19 = 2.176 × 10−18 (J)
hf = 2.176 × 10−18
f = 2.176 × 10−18 ÷ 6.63 × 10−34 = 3.28 × 1015 Hz 3 sfs
