Light with a wavelength of 525 nm is green. Calculate the energy in joules for a green light photon.
c 3.00 ×108 m / s
- find the frequency: c = λ ×υ v= v= v = 5.71 × 10141 / s
λ 1 m
525 nm ×
1×10 9 nm
- find the energy: E = h ×υ E = (6.626 ×10 −34 J ⋅ s)(5.71×10141 / s) E = 3.78 × 10 −19 J / photon
