The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of light given its energy, we can use the formula that relates energy (E), Planck's constant (h), the speed of light (c), and wavelength (λ): ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Formula**: The energy of a photon can be expressed as: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] Rearranging this formula to solve for wavelength (λ) gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{hc}{E} \] 2. **Substitute the Given Values**: We have: - Energy, \( E = 3.03 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J} \) - Planck's constant, \( h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \) - Speed of light, \( c = 3.0 \times 10^{8} \, \text{m/s} \) Plugging these values into the rearranged formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}) \times (3.0 \times 10^{8} \, \text{m/s})}{3.03 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J}} \] 3. **Calculate the Numerator**: First, calculate the numerator: \[ (6.626 \times 10^{-34}) \times (3.0 \times 10^{8}) = 1.9878 \times 10^{-25} \, \text{Js m/s} \] 4. **Calculate the Wavelength**: Now, divide the result by the energy: \[ \lambda = \frac{1.9878 \times 10^{-25}}{3.03 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 6.54 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] 5. **Convert to Nanometers**: Since the question may require the answer in nanometers, convert meters to nanometers (1 m = \(10^9\) nm): \[ \lambda = 6.54 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} = 654 \, \text{nm} \] ### Final Answer: The wavelength of light is \( \lambda = 654 \, \text{nm} \).

To find the wavelength of light given its energy, we can use the formula that relates energy (E), Planck's constant (h), the speed of light (c), and wavelength (λ): ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Formula**: The energy of a photon can be expressed as: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} ...
