What is the energy of a photon of wavelength ? (use , answer in eV)

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 2

  1. Step 1: According to the quantum theory of electromagnetic radiation, photon energy is related to wavelength by .
  2. Step 2: Substitute and : .
  3. Step 3: Performing the division gives a photon energy of 2\ \text{eV}.
Answer
2.
Why not the others: 1/2 inverts the formula to ; 4 doubles the energy or corresponds to ; 620 repeats the wavelength value.
