Explanation / Answer
E = hc/lemda
=> lemda = hc/E = 6.62*10^-34*3*10^8)/(9.85*10^-14) ( 615 keV = 9.85*10^-14 J)
=> wave length = 2*10^-12 m OR 2 pico mete
B) energy of photon with wavelength of 500 nm = 6.62*10^-34*3*10^8)/(500*10^-9) = 3.97*10^-19 J
no of photons = (9.85*10^-14)/(3.97*10^-19) = 248110.8
