Math Problem Statement
What is the frequency of a photon if the energy is 5.39 × 10⁻¹⁹ J? (h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J • s)
Solution
To find the frequency () of a photon, you can use the relationship between energy () and frequency, given by Planck's equation:
Where:
- is the energy of the photon (5.39 × 10⁻¹⁹ J),
- is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s),
- is the frequency of the photon.
To solve for :
Now, substitute the given values:
Let me calculate this for you.The frequency of the photon is approximately Hz.
