Question

Night visin cameras are sensitive to energies around 2.21 x 10-19 J. What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation do they use?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.99×10^-7m

Explanation:

The wavelength can be calculated using the expression below

E=hcλ

Where E= energy= 2.21 x 10^-19 J.

C= speed of light= 3x10^8 m/s

h= planks constant= 6.626 × 10^-34 m2 kg / s

E=hcλ

λ= E/(hc)

Substitute for the values

λ=( 2.21 x 10^-19 )/(6.626 × 10^-34 × 3x10^8 )

= 8.99×10^-7m
