What is the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 500 nm? (h = 6.626 × 10-34 J· s, c = 3 × 108 m/s)

  1. 1.104 × 10-48 J
  2. 3.976 × 10-19 J
  3. 9.939 × 10-32 J
  4. 3.976 × 10-16 J

Answer

B. 3.976 × 10-19 J

Solution

E = hc/ = (6.626 × 10-34)(3 × 108)/(500 × 10-9) = 3.976 × 10-19 J 2.48 eV.
