AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the range of energy of the photons of visible light with wavelengths from 400 nm to 780 nm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Energy-Wavelength Relationship The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( E \) is the energy of the photon, - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)), ...
