Question

Vitamin D is produced in the skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol reacts with UVB rays (ultraviolet B) having wavelengths between

Answer 1

The energy range expected is 6.6 × 10^-19 J < E < 7.33 × 10^-19 J

The energy of the photon is given by;

E = hc/λ

E = energy of the photon

h = Plank's constant

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength of light

For the upper boundary range;

E = ?

h = 6.6 × 10^-34 Js

c = 3  × 10^8 m/s

λ = 270 × 10^-9

E =  6.6 × 10^-34 Js × 3  × 10^8 m/s / 270 × 10^-9

E = 7.33 × 10^-19 J

For the lower range;

E = ?

h = 6.6 × 10^-34 Js

c = 3  × 10^8 m/s

λ =300 × 10^-9

E =  6.6 × 10^-34 Js × 3  × 10^8 m/s / 300 × 10^-9

E = 6.6 × 10^-19 J

Hence, the energy range 6.6 × 10^-19 J < E <  7.33 × 10^-19 J
