What is an example of a wavelength calculations practice problem?
1 Answer
Chances are, if you work with wavelengths
Try calculating the energy of a single photon of a particular wavelength.
#E_"photon" = hnu = (hc)/lambda#
... if its wavelength is red (let's say the wavelength was
Here's a hint for your units:
You should get
#color(blue)(3.31079xx10^(-19)"J")# .(If you get
#3.31079xx10^(-17)"J"# , check your wavelength.#"600 nm" ne 6xx10^(-9) "m"# .)
CHALLENGE: See if you can convert the energy here from
