Question

determine the energy for infrared in joules.
a 1.989 x 1022
b 1.989 x 1032
c 1.989 x 10-22
d 1.989 x 10-32

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the energy - wavelength formula

The energy of a photon is given by \(E = hc/\lambda\), where \(h = 6.626\times10^{-34}\space J\cdot s\) (Planck's constant), \(c=3\times 10^{8}\space m/s\) (speed of light). For infrared light, assume a wavelength \(\lambda = 10^{-5}\space m\) (from the given wavelength scale).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

Answer:

C. \(1.989\times10^{-22}\)
