What is the wavelength of a photon of energy 1 eV ?

A

`12.4xx10^(3)Å`

B

`2.4xx10^(3)Å`

C

`0.4xx10^(2)Å`

D

`1000Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`p=mc=(mc^(2))/(c)=(E)/(c)=(hv)/(c)=(h)/(lambda)`
`rArr (E)/(c)=(h)/(lambda) rArr E=(hc)/(lambda)`
`rArr lambda=12*375xx10^(3) Å`
