A photon of light has a wavelength of about 600 nm (1nm = 1 x 10-9 m). What is the energy of this photon of light? Show all calculations leading to an answer.

Respuesta :

wavelength = 600 nm = 600 × 10^(-9)
speed of light = c = 3 × 10^8
planck constant = h = 6.63 × 10^(-34)

energy of photon = hc/wavelength
 = 6.63 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^8/600 × 10^(-9)
 = 1.9 × 10^(-25)/6 × 10^(-7)
 = 0.31 × 10^(-16)
 = 3.1 × 10^(-17)
