Calculate the energy of the violet light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 410 nm. A) 4.84 × 10^-19 J B) 2.06 × 10^-19 J C) 1.23 × 10^-19 J D) 8.13 × 10^-19 J E) 5.27 × 10^-19 J

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of a photon can be calculated using the formula E = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J·s), c is the speed of light (3.00 × 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength in meters. Converting 410 nm to meters (410 × 10^-9 m) and substituting the values gives E ≈ 4.84 × 10^-19 J.
