Calculate the minimum frequency of a photon required to ionise a hydrogen atom in the ground state. (Take h=6.63×10−34 J sh = 6.63\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}, 1 eV=1.6×10−19 J1\,\text{eV}=1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{J} and ionisation energy of hydrogen =13.6 eV=13.6\,\text{eV}.) a) 6.6×1015 Hz6.6\times10^{15}\,\text{Hz} b) 3.3×1015 Hz3.3\times10^{15}\,\text{Hz} c) 2.5×1015 Hz2.5\times10^{15}\,\text{Hz} d) 3.3×1014 Hz3.3\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz}
