Hydrogen: For an electron in the lowest energy it can orbit around proton, they have a separation of 5.3 *10-11 m. If you have a 4.5*10-19J photon (bit of light) hit the electron, it will transfer all of its energy to the proton electron interaction and the electron will start orbiting at a larger radius. Assuming all the energy went into the potential energy, what is the new distance between the electron and proton.
