The warming of the thermosphere (the upper level of the atmosphere) is caused by the photo absorption of high energy photons. On

e of the processes that occurs in the thermosphere is the photo ionization of N2(g). N2(g) + hν → N2+(g) + e− What is the maximum wavelength of a photon needed to ionize N2 if the ionization energy of N2 is 1495 kJ/mol? In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does a photon of this energy belong?

Answer:

Wavelength of photon is 80.1 nm and it belongs to UV region.

Explanation:

If wavelength of required photon is \lambda then-

                                 N_{A}\frac{hc}{\lambda }=1495kJ

where, N_{A} is avogadro constant, h is plank constant, c is velocity of light.

So, (6.023\times 10^{23})\times \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m.s^{-1}}{\lambda }=1495\times 10^{3}J

or, \lambda = 8.01\times 10^{-8}m

or, \lambda = 80.1 nm

As wavelength of photon lies between 1-100 nm therefore the photon belongs to UV region of electromagnetic spectrum.
