Answer:
Frequency = 3.5294×10¹⁴ s⁻¹
Wavenumber = 1.1765×10⁶ m⁻¹
Energy = 2.3365x 10⁻¹⁹ J , 1.4579 eV , 2.3365x 10⁻¹² erg
Explanation:
Given the wavelength = 850 nm
1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m
So, wavelength is 850×10⁻⁹ m
The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:
c = frequency × Wavelength
Where, c is the speed of light having value = 3×10⁸ m/s
So, Frequency is:
Frequency = c / Wavelength
![Frequency=\frac {3\times 10^8\ m/s}{850\times 10^{-9}\ m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Frequency%3D%5Cfrac%20%7B3%5Ctimes%2010%5E8%5C%20m%2Fs%7D%7B850%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-9%7D%5C%20m%7D)
Frequency = 3.5294×10¹⁴ s⁻¹
Wavenumber is the reciprocal of wavelength.
So,
Wavenumber = 1 / Wavelength = 1 / 850×10⁻⁹ m
Wavenumber = 1.1765×10⁶ m⁻¹
Also,
![Energy=h\times frequency](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Energy%3Dh%5Ctimes%20frequency)
where, h is Plank's constant having value as 6.62x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
So,
Energy = 6.62x 10⁻³⁴ J.s × 3.5294×10¹⁴ s⁻¹
Energy = 2.3365x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Also,
1 J = 6.24×10¹⁸ eV
So,
Energy = 2.3365x 10⁻¹⁹ × 6.24×10¹⁸ eV
Energy = 1.4579 eV
Also,
1 J = 10⁷ erg
So,
Energy = 2.3365x 10⁻¹⁹ × 10⁷ erg
Energy = 2.3365x 10⁻¹² erg
