Einstein used the photoelectric effect to show that light can behave both as a particle and as a wave.
Answer:
E = 3.6×10⁻¹⁹ J
Explanation:
Given data:
Wavelength = 550 nm (550 ×10⁻⁹ nm)
Energy of wave = ?
Solution:
Formula:
E = h c/λ
c = 3×10⁸ m/s
h = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js
Now we will put the values in formula.
E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 3×10⁸ m/s /550 ×10⁻⁹ nm
E = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ J.m /550 ×10⁻⁹ nm
E = 0.036×10⁻¹⁷ J
E = 3.6×10⁻¹⁹ J
