Q.

Calculate the energy in joule corresponding to light of wavelength 45 nm.
(Planck’s constant, h=6.63×10-34 J s, speed of light, c=3×108ms-1)                   [2014]

1 6.67×1015  
2 6.67×1011  
3 4.42×10-15  
4 4.42×10-18  

Ans.

(4)

E=hcλ  [Given, λ=45nm=45×10-9m]

On putting the given values in the equation, we get

        E=6.63×10-34×3×10845×10-9=4.42×10-18J
