Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

A gamma ray photon has an energy of 0.91 GeV. (1 GeV = 109 eV.) What is the wavelength of the gamma ray in fm? (1 fm = 10-15 m)?

Answer:

$\lambda=1.37 fm$

Explanation:

The Planck Eistein relation, states that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency:

$E=h\nu(1)$

h is the Plank constant.The frequency of a photon is defined as the speed of light over its wavelength:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1):

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{0.91*10^{9}eV}\\\\\lambda=(1.37*10^{-15}m)*\frac{1fm}{10^{-15}m}\\\\\lambda=1.37 fm$
