Question

The wavelength of light in the visible region is about 390 nm for violet colour and about 760 nm for red colour. The energy of photon in eV at violet end is, the energy of photon in eV at the red end of the visible spectrum is (A) 6.63 (B) 3.62 (C) 7.61 (D) 1.64

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For red light, λ=760 nm E=(6.63×10-34×3×108/760×10-9)J =2.62×10-19J =(2.62×10-19/1.6×10-19)eV =1.64 eV

Q. The wavelength of light in the visible region is about $390 nm$ for violet colour and about $760 nm$ for red colour. The energy of photon in $e V$ at violet end is, the energy of photon in $e V$ at the red end of the visible spectrum is

$6.63$

$3.62$

$7.61$

$1.64$

For red light, $λ = 760 nm$
$E = \frac{6.63 \times 1 0 ^{- 34} \times 3 \times 1 0 ^{8}}{760 \times 1 0 ^{- 9}} J$
$= 2.62 \times 1 0^{- 19} J = \frac{2.62 \times 1 0 ^{- 19}}{1.6 \times 1 0 ^{- 19}} e V$
$= 1.64 e V$

Q. The wavelength of light in the visible region is about 390nm for violet colour and about 760nm for red colour. The energy of photon in eV at violet end is, the energy of photon in eV at the red end of the visible spectrum is
