Question

In the 1980s, the term picowave was used to describe food irradiation in order to overcome public resistance by playing on the well-known safety of microwave radiation. Find the energy in MeV of a photon having a wavelength of a picometer.

Answer 1

1.24Mev

Step-by-step explanation:

Using

E= hc/lambda

= (6.62x10^-19) x(3x10^8m/s)/(1x10^-12) x 1.602x10^-9

= 1.24Mev
