What is the wavelength, in nm, of a photon with energy (a) 0.30 eV, (b) 3.0 eV, and (c) 30 eV?
For each, is this wavelength visible light, ultraviolet, or infrared?

(a)  λ = 4136 nm → infrared

(b) λ = 413.6 nm → visible light

(c) λ = 41.36 nm → ultraviolet

Explanation:

The wavelength of infrared is on the range of 700 nm to 1000000 nm

The wavelength of visible light is between 400 nm and 700 nm

The wavelength of ultraviolet ray on the range of 10 nm to 400 nm

The wavelength of photon is given by;

E = hf

f is the frequency of the wave = c / λ

Where;

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

(a) 0.3 eV = 0.3 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 4136 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 4136 nm → infrared

(b) 3.0 eV

λ = 413.6 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 413.6 nm →visible light

(c) 30 eV

λ = 41.36 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 41.36 nm →ultraviolet

hello there!

your answer is a “generator”

a generator does not create energy but instead it transforms it.

it’s basically a motor working in reverse.
