The correct Answer is:
To determine the region of the electromagnetic spectrum to which light with an energy of 2.06 eV belongs, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship Between Energy and Wavelength**: The energy (E) of a photon can be related to its wavelength (λ) using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \(E\) is the energy in electron volts (eV), - \(h\) is Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J s}\)), - \(c\) is the speed of light (\(3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}\)), - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength in meters. 2. **Convert Energy to Wavelength**: Rearranging the formula gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{hc}{E} \] To simplify calculations, we can use a convenient value for \(hc\) in electron volts and nanometers: \[ hc \approx 1240 \text{ eV nm} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \lambda = \frac{1240 \text{ eV nm}}{E} \] 3. **Substitute the Given Energy**: Plugging in the given energy \(E = 2.06 \text{ eV}\): \[ \lambda = \frac{1240 \text{ eV nm}}{2.06 \text{ eV}} \approx 601.94 \text{ nm} \] 4. **Determine the Region of the Electromagnetic Spectrum**: The wavelength of approximately 601.94 nm falls within the range of visible light, which is approximately from 380 nm to 750 nm. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the light with an energy of 2.06 eV belongs to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. ### Final Answer: The light belongs to the **visible region** of the electromagnetic spectrum. ---
