The correct Answer is:
To find the mass of a photon with a wavelength of 1 nm, we can use the relationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelength. The mass of a photon can be derived from its energy using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Wavelength to Meters**: - The given wavelength is 1 nm (nanometer). - Convert nanometers to meters: \[ 1 \text{ nm} = 1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m} \] 2. **Use the Energy-Wavelength Relationship**: - The energy \( E \) of a photon can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] - Where: - \( h \) 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 \( (1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}) \) 3. **Substitute Values into the Energy Formula**: - Plugging in the values: \[ E = \frac{(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J s})(3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s})}{1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}} \] 4. **Calculate the Energy**: - Performing the calculation: \[ E = \frac{(6.626 \times 10^{-34})(3 \times 10^{8})}{1 \times 10^{-9}} = 1.9878 \times 10^{-14} \text{ J} \] 5. **Use Einstein's Mass-Energy Equivalence**: - According to Einstein's equation, \( E = mc^2 \), we can find the mass \( m \): \[ m = \frac{E}{c^2} \] - Substituting the value of \( E \): \[ m = \frac{1.9878 \times 10^{-14} \text{ J}}{(3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s})^2} \] 6. **Calculate the Mass**: - Performing the calculation: \[ m = \frac{1.9878 \times 10^{-14}}{9 \times 10^{16}} = 2.21 \times 10^{-33} \text{ kg} \] 7. **Final Answer**: - The mass of the photon having a wavelength of 1 nm is: \[ m \approx 2.21 \times 10^{-33} \text{ kg} \]
