Answer

$\Delta E = -4.45~keV$

Work Step by Step

In part (e) we found that $\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = 9.76\times 10^{-2}$ We can find an expression for the new wavelength: $\lambda_f = (1+9.76\times 10^{-2})~\lambda$ $\lambda_f = (1.0976)~\lambda$ We can find an expression for the new energy: $E_f = \frac{hc}{\lambda_f}$ $E_f = \frac{hc}{(1.0976)~\lambda}$ $E_f = 0.911~\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ $E_f = 0.911~E$ We can find $\Delta E$: $\Delta E = E_f - E$ $\Delta E = 0.911~E - E$ $\Delta E = -0.089~E$ $\Delta E = (-0.089)~(50.0~keV)$ $\Delta E = -4.45~keV$
