Question

Calculate the energy of one photon of yellow light that has a wavelength of 5.89x10^-7m.​

Answer 1

Answer:

E = energy = ? ,

λ = Wavelength = 5.89 × 10^-7 m —> = 589 ×10 ^-9 m ,

h =Planck constant = 6.63 × 10^-34 J.s ,

f = frequency of photo/ electromagnetic radiation = c/λ ,

c = Speed of light in a vacuum = 3 × 10^8 m/s

___o___o____

$E = hf \\ \\ E = h \frac{c}{λ} \\ \\ E = 6.63 \times {10}^{ - 34} \frac{3 \times {10}^{8} }{5.89 \times {10}^{ - 7} } \\ \\E = \frac{6.63 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8} }{5.89 \times {10}^{ - 7} } \\ \\ E = \frac{663 \times {10}^{ - 36} \times 3 \times {10}^{8} }{589 \times {10}^{ - 9} } \\ \\ E = \frac{1989 \times {10}^{ - 28} }{589 \times {10}^{ - 9} } \\ \\ E = 3.37691 \times {10}^{ - 19} J$
