PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
A photon has 2.90 eV of energy. What is the photon’s wavelength? (h = 6.626 x 10^-19, 1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J)

Explanation:

First, we convert the energy from eV to Joules:

[tex]2.90\:\text{eV}×\left(\dfrac{1.6×10{-19}\:J}{1\:\text{eV}} \right)[/tex]

[tex]= 4.64×10^{-19}\:\text{eV}[/tex]

We know from definition that

[tex]E=h\nu = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]

so the wavelength of the photon is

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{E} = 4.28×10^8\:\text{m}[/tex]
