What is the photon energy for yellow light from a highway sodium lamp at a wavelength of 589 nm?

Explanation

To find the photon energy for yellow light from a highway sodium lamp at a wavelength of 589 nm, we can use the formula for photon energy:

\[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \]

Where:
- \( E \) is the photon energy,
- \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)),
- \( c \) is the speed of light (\( 3.00 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)),
