(i) Energy (E) of a photon is given by the expression,
E=hv
Where, h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10–34 Js
ν = frequency of light = 3 × 1015 Hz
Substituting the values in the given expression of E:
E = (6.626 × 10–34) (3 × 1015)
E = 1.988 × 10–18 J
(ii) Energy (E) of a photon having wavelength (λ) is given by the expression,
E=hc/λ
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10–34 Js
c = velocity of light in vacuum = 3 × 108 m/s
Substituting the values in the given expression of E:
E=(6.626*10-34)(3*108)/0.50*10-10=3.976*10-15 J
E=3.98*10-15 J
