One requires `11eV` of energy to dissociate a carbon monoxide molecule into carbon and oxygen atoms. The minimum frequency of the appropriate electromagnetic radiation to achieve the dissociation lies in.A. visible regionB. infrared regionC. ultraviolet regionD. microwave region

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Energy required to dissociate a carbon monoxide molecule into carbon and oxygen atoms ( E ) = 11 eV
But E=hv
`therefore v=E/h="11 eV"/(6.62xx10^(-34))`
`=(11xx1.6xx10^(-19) J)/(6.62xx10^(-34)) =2.6xx10^15` Hz
This frequency belongs to ultraviolet radiation
