Question

A local am radio station broadcasts at a wavelength of 349m, calculate the energy of the wavelength at which it is broadcasting?a. 5.69 x 10^-19 J b. 6.93 x 10^-39 J c. 8.59 x 10^5 J d. 6.33 x10^-45 J e. 7.71 x 10^-40 J

Answer 1

Answer:

E = 5.69x10⁻²⁸m

Explanation:

To solve this question we neeed to convert the wavelength in meters to energy in joules using the equation:

E = hc / λ

Where E is energy in joules, h is Planck's constant = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js

c is light constant = 3.0x10⁸m/s

And λ is wavelength in meters = 349m

Replacing:

E = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js*3.0x10⁸m/s / 349m

E = 5.69x10⁻²⁸m
