Question

Calculate the energy of a photon, in electron-volt (eV) and in watt-hour (W h), of wavelength 6600 Å. 

Solution

Correct option is

The energy of a photon of frequency v is hv. But , where c is the speed light and  is the wavelength of the photon. Hence the energy of the photon is given by 

          

                

              

.       

  

               = 1.875 eV. 

Again,
