Visible light has wavelengths in the range of 400 nm to 780 nm. Calculate the range of energy of the photons of visible light.

(Use h = 6.63 × 10-34J-s = 4.14 × 10-15 eV-s, c = 3 × 108 m/s and me = 9.1 × 10-31kg)

उत्तर

Given :
Range of wavelengths, `λ_1` = 400 nm to `λ_2` = 780 nm

Planck's constant, `h = 6.63 xx 10^-34  "Js"`

Speed of light, `c = 3 xx 10^8  "m/s"`

Energy of photon,

`E = hv`

`v = c/λ`

`therefore E = hv = (hc)/λ`

Energy `(E_1)` of a photon of wavelength `(λ_1)` : 

`E_1 = (hc)/λ_1`

= `(6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(400 xx 10^-9)`

= `(6.63 xx 3)/4 xx 10^-9`

= `4.97725 xx 10^-19`

= `5 xx 10^-19  "J"`

Energy `(E_2)` of a photon of wavelength `(λ_2)` : 

`E_2 = (6.63 xx 3)/7.8 xx 10^-19`

= `2.55 xx 10^-9  "J"`

So, the range of energy is `2.55 xx 10^-19  "J"` to `5 xx 10^-19  "J"` .
