Question

Violet light has a wavelength of 422 nm, how much energy is found in this photon of violet light?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.025eV

Explanation:

Energy of a photon is given by

E=hν

Where h is the Planck's constant

And ν represents the frequency of the photon .

Now for violet light wavelength λ=410nm= 410x10^-9m

By using the formula ν=c/λ

where c represents speed of light I.e 3 x 10^8 m/s

Calculating energy of violet photon we have

E=hc/λ

h=6.626 x 10^-34 J.s

On inserting the value in the formula , we get

E= 4.848 x 10^-19 Joules

To convert it into electron volts we need to divide it by 1.602 x10^-19.

The final result what we have is E=3.026eV.

Note: the result calculated is according to the above value . result may vary according to the values taken .
