A proton is located at a distance of 0.410 m from a point charge of +8.30 µC. The repulsive electric force moves the proton until it is at a distance of 1.56 m from the charge. Suppose that the electric potential energy lost by the system is carried off by a photon that is emitted during the process. What is its wavelength?
