Question

6. Determine the wavelength for a photon of light

Answer 1

Answer:

6) λ  =  0.84 × 10⁻⁸ m

7) λ  =  0.84 × 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

6) Given data:

Wavelength of photon = ?

Frequency of photon = 3.56 × 10¹⁶ Hz

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of radiation = frequency × wavelength

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s  = 3.56 × 10¹⁶ Hz ×  λ

λ  =  3×10⁸ m/s   / 3.56 × 10¹⁶ s⁻¹

λ  =  0.84 × 10⁻⁸ m

7) Given data:

Wavelength of photon = ?

Frequency of photon = 6.15 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of radiation = frequency × wavelength

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s  =  6.15 × 10¹⁴ Hz ×  λ

λ  =  3×10⁸ m/s   /  6.15 × 10¹⁴ Hz s⁻¹

λ  =  0.84 × 10⁻⁶ m
