Step-by-step explanation:


wavelength= 435 * {10}^( - 9) m


a. \: frequency= (speed \: of \: violet \: light)/(wavelength)


f = \frac{3 * {10}^(8) }{435 * {10}^( - 9) }


f = 0.00689* {10}^( 17) hz


f = 6 .89 * {10}^(14) hz


b. \: Energy = h * f


= 6.626 * {10}^( - 34) * 6.89 * {10}^(14)


= 45.65 * {10}^( - 20) Joules
