C

  1. Identify the formula for the energy of a photon.

    The energy of an emitted photon (EE) is given by the formula:

    E=hcλE = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

    where hh is Planck's constant, cc is the speed of light (emitted radiation speed), and λ\lambda is the wavelength of the photon.

  2. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    Given:
    Planck's constant, h=6.63×10−34 Jsh = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}
    Speed of emitted radiation, c=3.0×108 ms−1c = 3.0 \times 10^8 \text{ ms}^{-1}
    Wavelength of emitted photon, λ=5.68×10−6 m\lambda = 5.68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}

    E=(6.63×10−34 Js)×(3.0×108 ms−1)5.68×10−6 mE = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}) \times (3.0 \times 10^8 \text{ ms}^{-1})}{5.68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}}
  3. Calculate the energy.

    First, calculate the numerator:

    6.63×3.0=19.896.63 \times 3.0 = 19.89 10−34×108=10(−34+8)=10−2610^{-34} \times 10^8 = 10^{(-34+8)} = 10^{-26}

    So, the numerator is 19.89×10−26 Jm19.89 \times 10^{-26} \text{ Jm}.

    Now, divide by the wavelength:

    E=19.89×10−26 Jm5.68×10−6 mE = \frac{19.89 \times 10^{-26} \text{ Jm}}{5.68 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}} E=(19.895.68)×(10−2610−6) JE = \left(\frac{19.89}{5.68}\right) \times \left(\frac{10^{-26}}{10^{-6}}\right) \text{ J} E≈3.50176×10(−26−(−6)) JE \approx 3.50176 \times 10^{(-26 - (-6))} \text{ J} E≈3.50176×10−20 JE \approx 3.50176 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J}
  4. Round the result and compare with the given options.

    Rounding to two decimal places for the coefficient, we get 3.50×10−20 J3.50 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J}.
    Comparing this to the options:
    A 1.49×10−20 J1.49 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J}
    B 1.49×10−19 J1.49 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}
    C 3.49×10−20 J3.49 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J}
    D 3.49×10−19 J3.49 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}

    The calculated value 3.50×10−20 J3.50 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J} is closest to option C, 3.49×10−20 J3.49 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J}.

    The final answer is C\text{C}.
