Calculate the energy of a photon of electromagnetic radiation whose frequency is 2.80×1014 s−1 .

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer :

Explanation:

You use either the formula E=hf or E=hcλ.

Explanation:

h is Planck's Constant, f is the frequency, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength of the radiation.

EXAMPLE 1

Calculate the energy of a photon of radiation whose frequency is 5.00×1014Hz.

Solution 1

E=hf=6.626×10−34J⋅s×5.00×1014s−1=3.31×10−19J

The energy is 3.31×10−19J.

EXAMPLE 2

Calculate the energy of a photon of radiation that has a wavelength of 3.3 µm.

Solution 2

E=hcλ=6.626×10−34J⋅s×2.998×108m⋅s−13.3×10−6m=6.0×10−20J

Taking into account the definition of photon and energy of a photon, the energy of a photon with a frequency of 2.80×10¹⁴ s⁻¹ is 1.85528×10⁻¹⁹ J.

The energy of radiation is composed of indivisible units (quanta). In each elemental process only a quantum of light can be emitted or absorbed. Each of these quanta was called a "photon."

A photon is characterized by an energy, denoted by E, determined by the expression:

E = h×f

where h is Planck's constant (h), whose value is  h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J×s

In this case, you know that f=2.80×10¹⁴ s⁻¹. Then:

E=6.626×10⁻³⁴ J×s × 2.80×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Solving:

E= 1.85528×10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of a photon with a frequency of 2.80×10¹⁴ s⁻¹ is 1.85528×10⁻¹⁹ J.
