Question
**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the energy associated with a radiation having a wavelength of 3000 Å. Give the answer in kcal mol⁻¹ and also in kJ mol⁻¹. 

**Explanation:**

- **Wavelength (λ):** 3000 Å (angstroms).
- **Energy Calculation:** Use the formula \( E = \frac{hc}{λ} \) where \( h \) is Planck's constant and \( c \) is the speed of light.
- **Unit Conversion:** Convert the energy from ergs to joules and then to kcal mol⁻¹ and kJ mol⁻¹.
  
**Note:** There are no graphs or diagrams associated with this question.

Step 1

given, wavelength,λ= 3000 A0 =3000×10-8 cm

        speed of light, c =  3×1010cm/s

1 kcal = 4.185 x 1010 ergs

1 Kcal = 4.18 kj
