some instruments differentiate individual quanta of electromagnetic radiation based on their energies. Assume search and instrument has been adjusted to detect photons that have 1.00 x 10^-16 J of energy. What is the wavelength of the detected radiation? Give your answer in nanometers and in meters.

Answer:

1.9902 nano meter is the wavelength of the detected radiation.

Explanation:

\(E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\)

\(\lambda\) = Wavelength of radiation

E= energy of the photon of the wave

h = Planck's constant = \(6.634\times 10^{-34}Js\)

c = speed of light = \(3\times 10^8m/s\)

\(\lambda = \frac{hc}{E}\)

Energy of the radiations = E = \(1.00\times 10^{-16} J\)

\(=\frac{6.634\times 10^{-34}Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{1.00\times 10^{-16} J}\)

\(\lambda =19.902\times 10^{-10}m=1.9902 nm\)

\(1 m = 10^9 nm\)
