Question
Hi, I am working on quantum energy as it related to wavelength. I came across across a probelm (attached is a picture) and i did the calculation right. I got the numbers 3.97 for the solution, but i cannot figure out why it is equal to 397 nm and 3.97*10^-7 m. The conversions don't make sense me.

Transcribed Image Text:because a photon is an atomic-level particle of radiant energy.
Practice Exercise Some instruments differentiate individual quanta of
electromagnetic radiation on the basis of their energies. Assume that such an
instrument has been adjusted to detect photons that have 5.00 × 10-19 J of energy. What is
the wavelength of the detected radiation? Give your answer in nanometers and in meters.
(Answers to Practice Exercises are in the back of the book.)
