Answer:
a) The wavelength is around 33.8 nm = 3.38*10⁻¹ nm
b) Ultraviolet
Explanation:
a) The energy (E) of a photon is related to its wavelength (λ) by the Planck's equation:
where h = Planck's constant = 6.626*10^-34 Js
c = speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s
E = 3.55*10^6 J/mol
The energy in terms of J/photon is:
Based on eq(1)
\lambda = h\frac{c}{E}=6.626*10^{-34}Js*\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{5.89*10^{-18}J}=3.38*10^{-8}m
The wavelength is around 33.8 nm = 3.38*10⁻¹ nm
b) In the electromagnetic spectrum the ultraviolet range extends from 390 nm-8.82 nm
The calculated wavelength of 33.8 nm should fall in the UV range.
