Highest energy photon absorbed:
Explanation:
An atom is said to be (positively) ionised when it absorbs a photon, and as a consequence, an electron becomes energetic enough to escape the atom, leaving an excess of positive charge behind.
In order for the electron to escape, the energy of the absorbed photon must be exactly equal to the (negative) energy of the level in which the electron lies.
For an hydrogen atom, the energy levels are given by
where this energy is measured in electronvolts, and n is the number of the energy level.
Since the energy is negative, this means that the electron which requires most energy is the one lying in the ground state (n=1). Therefore, for an electron in the ground state, the most energy that can be absorbed from the incoming photon is
Converting into Joules, this is equal to

Complete question:
Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?
Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?
Answer
a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less
b)
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Length measured by captain
Speed of rocket past tje space dock
Length measured by space-dock personnel
a)
Generally time moves slower when moving at speed of light, due to time dilation or variation.
Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less
b)
Generally the equation for Relativistic Momentum is mathematically given as
