Answer:
C. 588 nm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Energy of the photon = 3.38 x 10⁻¹⁹J
Unknown:
Wavelength of the photon = ?
Solution:
The energy of a photon can be expressed as;
E = [tex]\frac{hc}{wavelength}[/tex]
hc = E x wavelength
Wavelength = [tex]\frac{hc }{E}[/tex]
h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s
E is the energy
Wavelength = [tex]\frac{6.63 x 10^{-34} x 3 x 10^{8} }{3.38 x 10^{-19} }[/tex] = 5.89 x 10⁻⁷m
