Question

1. Calculate the frequency of light with a wavelength of 2914 nm. What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength of 2914 nm (i.e. gamma rays, microwaves,etc.) 2. C. Calculate the energy of a single photon and wavelength of light if the light has a frequency of 2.451 x 1020 s–1. What type of electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 2.451 x 1020 s–1(i.e. gamma rays, microwaves,etc.) 1. Calculate the frequency of light with a wavelength of 2914 nm.

Explanation / Answer

1.)

Convert nm to m:

2914 nm x (1 m / 109 nm) = 2.914 x 10¯-6 m

Substitute into = c:

(2.914 x 10¯-6 m) (x) = 3.00 x 108 m s¯1

x = 1.0295 x 1014 s¯1

Hence, frequency is 1.0295 x 1014 s¯1 and it is type of electromagnetic radiation is Infrared radiation.

2.) E = hv

Here, v = 2.451 x 1020 s–1. ,

h = 6.626176 x 10-34 Js

E =  2.451 x 1020 X 6.626176 x 10-34 = 1.624 X 10-13   J

Hence,   energy of a single photon = 1.624 X 10-13   J

Type of electromagnetic radiation is Gamma rays.
