Explanation / Answer

Wavelength of photon = 0.303 A

=0.303x10-10 m

We know energy of photon E = hc/lambda

where h = Planck's cnstant = 6.625x10-34 J.sec

c = velocity of light = 3.0x108 m/sec

Thus Energy E = 6.625x10-34 J.sec x 3.0x108 m/sec / 0.303x10-10 m

= 6.56x10-15  J

We knwo 1 electron volt (eV) = 1.602x10-19 J

Thus the energy in eV = 6.56x10-15  J x1 eV / 1.602x10-19 J

=4.095x104 eV

= 40.95 KeV
