Q.

The wavelength of photon ‘A’ is 400 nm. The frequency of photon ‘B’ is 1016s-1. The wave number of photon ‘C’ is 104cm-1. The correct order of energy of these photons is:  [2026]

1 A > B > C  
2 C > B > A  
3 A > C > B  
4 B > A > C  

Ans.

(4)

(1) Wavelength of A=400 nm

(2) Wavelength of B (λ)=cν=3×1081016=3×10-8=30×10-9=30 nm

(3) Wavelength of C (λ)=1ν¯=1104=10-4 cm=10-6 m=1000 nm

Here λC>λA>λB

Energy (E)1λ

So EB>EA>EC

Ans. (4) is correct.
