Question
One way to measure ionization energies is photoelectron
spectroscopy (PES), a technique based on the
photoelectric effect. In PES, monochromatic light is
directed onto a sample, causing electrons to be emitted.
The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is measured.
The difference between the energy of the photons and the
kinetic energy of the electrons corresponds to the energy
needed to remove the electrons (that is, the ionization
energy). Suppose that a PES experiment is performed in
which mercury vapor is irradiated with ultraviolet light of
wavelength 58.4 nm. (Figure 1)
