What is the wavelength of light with an energy of 4.8 x 10
J? Include the proper unit in the answer.

Respuesta :

The wavelength of light : 4.14 x 10⁻⁵ m

Further explanation

Radiation energy is absorbed by photons

The energy in one photon can be formulated as

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{E\:=\:h\:.\:f}}}[/tex]

Where

h = Planck's constant (6,626.10⁻³⁴ Js)

f = Frequency of electromagnetic waves

The energy of the light = 4.8 x 10⁻²¹ J

The wavelength of light :

[tex]\tt E=h.\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{h.c}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.626.10^{-34}\times 3.10^8}{4.8.10^{-21}}\\\\\lambda=4.14.10^{-5}~m[/tex]
