What is the energy of a photon of wavelength ? (use , answer in eV)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 4
- Step 1: According to the quantum theory of electromagnetic radiation, photon energy is related to wavelength by .
- Step 2: Substitute and : .
- Step 3: Performing the division gives a photon energy of 4\ \text{eV}.
Answer
4.
Why not the others: 1/4 inverts the formula to ; 310 repeats the wavelength value; 8 doubles the correct photon energy.
