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"`
Formula:
Energy of photon,
`E = hv`
`v = c/λ`
`therefore E = hv = (hc)/λ`
Calculation:
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^-19 "J"`
So, the range of energy is `2.55 xx 10^-19 "J"` to `5 xx 10^-19 "J"`.
