Interpretation: For the given
Concept Introduction:
The relation between wavelength and frequency of radiation is as follows:
Here,
Also, the energy of the photon is directly proportional to the frequency.
The relation is represented as follows:
Here, h is Planck’s constant
Answer to Problem 25LC
Explanation of Solution
The given wavelength is 460 nm. From the given wavelength, the frequency can be calculated as follows:
Here, the value of the speed of light is constant that is
Substitute the values in the above formula,
Now, the calculated frequency is
Substitute the values,
Therefore, the energy of a photon of light is
The energy of a photon of blue light is
