Question

A chemist is using radiation with a frequency of 6.0 x 10^13 Hz

Answer 1

Answer:

λ = 0.5×10⁻⁵ m

E = 39.78×10⁻²¹ J

The given radiation is gamma ray.

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of radiation = 6.0 ×10¹³ Hz

Wavelength of radiation = ?

Type of radiation = ?

Energy of radiation = ?

Solution:

Formula:

speed of light = wavelength × frequency

3 ×10⁸ m/s = λ × 6.0 ×10¹³ Hz

Hz = s⁻¹

λ = 3 ×10⁸ m/s /  6.0 ×10¹³  s⁻¹

λ = 0.5×10⁻⁵ m

Energy of radiation:

E = hf

h = planck's constant

f = frequency

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ j.s × 6.0 ×10¹³  s⁻¹

E = 39.78×10⁻²¹ J

The given radiation is gamma ray.
