8 0

Answer:

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.08×1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light? Planck's consta

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

We have the final answer as

$4.69 \times {10}^{ - 19} \: \: J$

Explanation:

To find the energy of a photon of this light we use the formula

where

E is the energy

f is the frequency

h is the Planck's constant which is

6.626 × 10-³⁴ Js

From the question

f = 7.08×10¹⁴ Hz

We have

E = 7.08×10¹⁴ × 6.626 × 10-³⁴

We have the final answer as

$4.69 \times {10}^{ - 19} \: \: J$

Hope this helps you
