Step 1: Identify the formula for the energy of a photon.
The energy of an emitted photon (E) is given by the formula:
E=λhc
where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light (emitted radiation speed), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.
Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula.
Given:
Planck's constant, h=6.63×10−34 Js
Speed of emitted radiation, c=3.0×108ms−1
Wavelength of emitted photon, λ=5.68×10−6 m
E=5.68×10−6m(6.63×10−34Js)×(3.0×108ms−1)
Step 3: Calculate the energy.
First, calculate the numerator:
6.63×3.0=19.89
10−34×108=10(−34+8)=10−26
So, the numerator is 19.89×10−26 Jm.
Now, divide by the wavelength:
E=5.68×10−6m19.89×10−26Jm
E=(5.6819.89)×(10−610−26) J
E≈3.50176×10(−26−(−6)) J
E≈3.50176×10−20 J
Step 4: Round the result and compare with the given options.
Rounding to two decimal places for the coefficient, we get 3.50×10−20 J.
Comparing this to the options:
A 1.49×10−20 J
B 1.49×10−19 J
C 3.49×10−20 J
D 3.49×10−19 J
The calculated value 3.50×10−20 J is closest to option C, 3.49×10−20 J.
The final answer is C.
