Problem: Calculate the energy of the violet light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 410.1 nm.
FREE Expert Solution
Violet light is a part of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The energy and frequency of electromagnetic waves are related by this equation.
Where,
E = energy
h = Planck’s constant
𝜈 = frequency
The relation between the speed of light, it frequency and wavelength is:
Where,
c = speed of light
λ = wavelength
𝜈 = frequency
Isolating 𝜈 and placing it in the first equation.
