Question

The blue colour of the sky results from the scattering of sunlight by air molecules. Blue light has a frequency if about 7.5*10^14Hz
Calculate the energy of a mole of photon associated with this frequency

Answer 1

Answer: The energy of a mole of photon associated with this frequency is $49.5\times 10^{-20}J$

Explanation:

The energy and frequency are related by :

$E=N\times h\times \nu$

E = energy of photon

N = number of moles = 1

h = planks constant = $6.6\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\nu$ = frequency = $7.5\times 10^{14}Hz$

$E=1\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}Js\times 7.5\times 10^{14}s^{-1}=49.5\times 10^{-20}J$

The energy of a mole of photon associated with this frequency is $49.5\times 10^{-20}J$
